About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Walgreens when a delivery driver noticed something strange. The shelves in aisle seven seemed to rearrange themselves while he waited for the elevator. Curious, he watched as boxes of Band-Aids moved closer to the front counter and bottles of aspirin lined up neatly next to first aid kits. By the time he reached the seventh aisle, everything had returned to normal. Shaking his head with a smile, he thought, ‘Must be one of those Walgreens quirks.’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens one afternoon and muttered under his breath, ‘I’ve never seen so many bottles of aspirin stacked like that.’ Little did he know, every night at midnight, those bottles mysteriously rearranged themselves into intricate patterns. Finally, a regular customer noticed something odd and asked the pharmacist. The next morning, employees found the entire stockroom transformed into a massive Rubik’s Cube puzzle. Turned out, an elderly volunteer had been quietly organizing the shelves for decades after hours. Everyone laughed it off as just another quirky Walgreens story.

3. A customer asked the pharmacist, ‘Do you sell happiness here?’ The pharmacist replied, ‘Not officially, sir.’ But then he added with a twinkle in his eye, ‘We do have aspirin for sadness—try two!’ Then an elderly gentleman approached the counter and whispered, ‘I’d like some sleep-aids, please.’ The pharmacist smiled knowingly and said, ‘Just one? Try three!’

4. At night, while closing up Walgreens, the night clerk heard a soft whimpering sound coming from behind the shelves. Curious, she peeked around the corner and found a small kitten, purring contentedly among the boxes of Band-Aids. Smiling, she scooped up the little fellow and placed him in a box filled with soft tissues. The next morning, when she showed it to her manager, everyone fell in love with the furry newcomer. Now, every day before closing time, they leave out an extra box of candies for ‘the lucky finder’—just in case he decides to pay another visit.
