About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘Free samples of everything today—just ask for what you want.’ Curious customers flocked in, each leaving with bags full of goodies. As days went by, more people started asking for strange things—like free samples of sunscreen in winter or cough medicine without any symptoms. Finally, one regular asked for a free sample of happiness. The manager smiled and said, 'We ran out yesterday.' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another fun Walgreens gimmick.

2. A young pharmacist was counting pills late one night when he heard a voice from behind the counter. ‘Hey, kid,’ said a gruff but friendly tone, ‘you sure you’re giving out the right meds? I’m pretty sure aspirin is supposed to make people feel better, not sleepwalk!’ ‘I’ve been here for twenty years,’ the old man chuckled. ‘Aspirin just makes some patients a little… zippy.’ The pharmacist shook his head and smiled, finishing the last bottle before locking up. Next morning, no one mentioned anything unusual—except maybe an extra-friendly delivery driver who waved goodbye with a wink.

3. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled into the dimly lit parking lot of Walgreens. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between shelves inside. Curious, the driver peeked through the window and saw only empty shelves and blinking security lights. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a soft voice behind him: ‘Excuse me, can you help me find some Band-Aids?’ Turning around, he found an old lady with a mischievous smile, holding a shopping bag filled with items she clearly didn’t need. ‘I thought it was ghosts,’ he laughed.}

4. Have you ever seen someone so absorbed in their phone that they didn’t notice the world around them? Well, there’s a Walgreens where that happens every day—except it’s not just any phone. One day, an elderly neighbor popped into Walgreens for some aspirin. She stood there, completely oblivious to everything except her smartphone screen. A delivery driver tried to squeeze past her, but she didn't budge until he gently tapped her shoulder—and she jumped three feet in the air! Turns out, she was playing 'Avoiding Zombies' and hadn't noticed anything else.
