About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Walgreens’ doors were usually empty, an old man started showing up with a basket full of flowers. He’d quietly place them on the counter and leave without saying a word. Finally, one morning, a sleepy pharmacist asked him, ‘Sir, why do you bring these flowers every day?’ The old man smiled and replied softly, ‘They’re for your kindness.’ Turns out, he was just the night shift delivery driver who always said hello first thing in the morning.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens, he noticed something odd. The neon sign above the entrance seemed to flicker on and off in time with the hum of the store's air conditioning unit. Curious, the driver walked inside just as the sign dimmed for what felt like an eternity. Suddenly, a voice from behind the counter said, 'Welcome to Walgreens—we’re open twenty-four-seven!' Turning around, he saw only a shadowy figure smiling warmly. Relieved, he realized it was just an old pharmacist who’d been there longer than anyone could remember.

3. In the dead of night, when even streetlights dimmed, a shadowy figure began appearing in front of Walgreens' closed door. It was just another ordinary neighborhood Walgreens—nothing special until late deliveries started arriving earlier and earlier. One evening, a delivery driver arrived unusually early with a smile on his face. ‘I found a shortcut through back alleys,’ he explained. A neighbor passing by chuckled, ‘No wonder—it looks like you took a detour straight into Walgreens’ stockroom!’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Walgreens to drop off supplies, he heard soft laughter coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an old man in a white lab coat, mixing something in a beaker with a big smile on his face. Turns out, it was just the pharmacist making some special night-time remedy for a regular customer. 'Better late than never,' the pharmacist said, winking.
