About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walgreens were still locked tight, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a small, dusty door in the back seemed to open on its own. Curious, he peered inside and found an old calendar stuck on the wall—January 1987. Shaking his head, he closed the door and went back to work. Months later, while restocking shelves, a regular customer asked if they had any special offers for seniors. The delivery driver smiled and replied, ‘Not that I know of, ma’am—but maybe next year!’

2. One night, after closing hours, an employee heard a strange noise coming from the stockroom. Was it just the air conditioning playing tricks? Curious, she peeked inside and saw only boxes shifting slightly in the dim light. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver adjusting his load. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over coffee, reminding each other that sometimes Walgreens is like a stage where anyone can be the star of their own mystery show.

3. At midnight, when the neighborhood quieted down, a neighbor passing by Walgreens caught an odd scent—like freshly baked cookies wafting through the air. Curious, they peered inside and saw nothing unusual—a lone pharmacist behind the counter, dozing off on his break. Just then, from the back room came a muffled ‘Oops!’ followed by the sound of something rolling across the floor. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver tripping over a box of samples while trying to sneak in some free candy for himself.

4. At dusk, while customers rushed home for dinner, a small dog darted into Walgreens and started sniffing around the shelves. No one noticed until he found a hidden corner where candy bars were displayed just above eye level for kids. Just then, an elderly lady approached the counter, humming a familiar tune. She reached into her purse and pulled out a pack of gum, which she offered to the little dog with a smile. The dog accepted it gratefully, wagging his tail, before trotting out through the automatic doors. Everyone burst into laughter, realizing that maybe old Mrs. Johnson had been feeding him treats after hours. Since then, everyone calls him ‘Walgreens Whiskers’.
