About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were almost empty and only a lone cashier remained, customers started whispering about strange noises coming from behind the pharmacy counters. One night, an elderly neighbor popped in for some medicine. As she waited, she heard a soft humming sound. Turned out it was just the night shift pharmacist practicing his karaoke cover of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ while filling prescriptions—quite off-key but very enthusiastic.

2. In the early morning hours, when Walgreens was quiet as a library, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the loading bay—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper with no label. Curious, he unwrapped it to find inside… nothing but a note that read: ‘To my favorite pharmacist, happy anniversary!’ Turns out, it was from his wife, who worked nights and wanted to surprise him. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood stopped by Walgreens just to say hello.’

3. Late one night, after closing time, an elderly gentleman entered the nearly deserted Walgreens. As he approached the counter, the store’s PA system crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Attention all customers—your prescriptions are now available in the parking lot.’ Confused but amused, the old man walked outside and found a small table under the streetlight, piled high with boxes of aspirin, band-aids, and even some candy. A note read: 'Sorry for the inconvenience—we’ll be back soon!' Turning around, he saw a delivery driver waving from inside, shouting, 'Happy Halloween!'

4. Late one night, after closing time, a delivery driver pulled up to the nearly deserted Walgreens. As he approached the door, he noticed something odd: the parking lot lights seemed to flicker in time with the humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door—only to see a neighborhood cat lazily stretching on top of the shelves. Turns out, the hum was just its purr, and the flickering light was its shadow playing tricks on him. The delivery guy laughed it off, shook his head, and left, promising himself never again to deliver after midnight.
