About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an overnight delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens. As he unloaded boxes, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the pharmacy. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw… nothing. The next morning, everyone in town had a good laugh. A few days later, while stocking shelves, a regular customer mentioned hearing strange noises too. Turned out, it was just the pharmacist practicing his new accent for an upcoming role in ‘Grease.’ Everyone laughed again—and then went back to buying their Tylenol.

2. In the early hours of morning, a sleep-deprived nurse left her shift and walked into Walgreens for a quick caffeine fix. On her way out, she absentmindedly placed a small, wrapped package in the shopping cart she'd borrowed. As she was leaving, an exhausted delivery driver noticed something odd—an unfamiliar package nestled among the groceries. Thinking it might be his own forgotten lunch, he took it home. Later that evening, while unpacking, his wife exclaimed, ‘Honey, what’s this little gift?’ Turns out, it was just a random candy bar from Walgreens.’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver was stocking shelves in Walgreens, he heard an announcement over the store’s PA: ‘Attention, please pick up your flying saucer from Customer Service.’ Curious, he went to Customer Service and found a small silver disc wrapped neatly in brown paper. When he opened it, there sat his neighbor, grinning sheepishly. Turns out, the old guy had accidentally left his flying saucer there earlier that day.

4. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a regular customer arrived with a peculiar request. He asked the cashier for an unusual combination of items—aspirin, chocolate, and a newspaper from twenty years ago. The cashier raised an eyebrow but obliged, finding everything on the list. Just as she was wrapping up the transaction, a delivery driver knocked on the door. ‘Aspirin, chocolate, and old newspapers?’ he whispered conspiratorially. The regular nodded knowingly, then turned to the cashier and said, “It’s for my secret recipe.” Everyone laughed, including the cashier who thought it was one of his usual jokes.
