About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the pharmacy’s bulletin board: ‘Free donuts for anyone who can guess why our cash register is beeping “Happy Birthday” every time you buy aspirin.’ Curious, a regular customer approached the counter and asked what the fuss was about. The pharmacist smiled and whispered, 'It seems that last night an intern accidentally programmed the register to celebrate birthdays whenever someone buys painkillers.' Everyone laughed, and from then on, Walgreens became known as the place where even your medicine knows how to party.

2. At night, when everyone else had gone home, an anonymous voice began making announcements over Walgreens’ intercom: ‘Remember to take your vitamins today!’ The staff laughed it off until one day, someone found a mysterious bottle of gummy supplements hidden behind the counter. Then, one evening, a delivery driver heard the voice too and joked, ‘Maybe we should start selling these things!’ Soon enough, customers started asking for ‘the magic vitamin bottles.’ A neighbor even stopped by with her own empty container, saying she’d been meaning to try them. The voice never asked for money—just reminded everyone to stay healthy. And so, Walgreens became known not just for its medicine but also for its friendly, late-night health advice.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a sleepy Walgreens employee heard a familiar voice whispering over the intercom: 'Night shift is over—time for some serious rest!' The employee ignored it, thinking it was just an old tape from the previous night's shift. But then the voice repeated, louder this time: ‘Hey, I’m still here!’ Turns out, it was only a delivery driver leaving his package outside. The whole thing turned into a friendly joke among staff: whenever someone left something behind, they’d say, “It’s not me—it’s the ghost!”

4. One day, while stocking shelves late at night, a young pharmacist overheard someone whispering from behind the counter: ‘Did you know that if you ask for “extra strength patience,” they’ll give it to you for free?’ Curious, our pharmacist asked what it meant. The voice replied, 'It’s our little secret—just trust us.' From then on, whenever anyone requested 'extra strength patience,' they’d smile and hand out a small bottle filled with colorful candies instead. It became a fun tradition among locals until one day, an elderly gentleman came in asking for his usual. When he bit into his candy, he exclaimed, 'These are my grandkids' favorite!'
