About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Walgreens pharmacy in downtown Chicago closed its doors, a faint humming sound could be heard from inside. A delivery driver noticed it first, but dismissed it as his imagination until several neighbors began reporting the same eerie noise. Curious, the delivery driver entered the empty pharmacy and found only an old radio playing softly in the corner. The next morning, he switched it off—and the humming stopped. Turns out, it was just an elderly pharmacist’s favorite station, left on by mistake.

2. At midnight, when the Walgreens in New Orleans was emptying out, a delivery driver noticed an odd note taped to the cash register: ‘If you want to check out early tomorrow morning, bring your own shopping bag.’ The next morning, as the sun rose over the city, the store manager found that every item had been neatly placed back on the shelves—except for one box of Band-Aids, which now read ‘Walgreens Presents: Heal Your Own Bag!’

3. In a small town in Texas, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jenkins would often stop by the Walgreens late at night. One evening, as he approached the counter, the cashier asked him, ‘Sir, do you always come here so late?’ With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Jenkins replied, “I’m just waiting for the moonlight special.” Finally, the cashier couldn't help but smile and say, 'Mr. Jenkins, there’s no such thing as a moonlight special.' To which Mr. Jenkins winked and whispered, 'Just wait until midnight—maybe they’ll announce it!' The next day, everyone in town knew that Walgreens had indeed started their very own secret midnight sale.

4. At dawn, when the Walgreens on Main Street was quiet and dimly lit, a strange humming sound could be heard coming from the pharmacy shelves. Curious locals started gathering around, trying to figure out where the noise was coming from. Turned out it was just an old radio left on by a delivery driver who had dozed off in the break room. The next morning, everyone laughed it off as another quirky Walgreens story—until someone found him still sleeping there with his headphones on.
