About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does that same old delivery truck come here every Tuesday?’ The pharmacist shrugged and said, ‘I’ve no idea.’ The next week, just as the truck pulled up, an excited neighbor rushed in and whispered, 'Quick, ask him if he’s bringing those special cookies!' Turns out, it was always the same truck because the pharmacist baked his own cookies and delivered them every Tuesday as a surprise for regular customers.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and announced over the intercom: ‘Attention all customers—your prescriptions are now available in reverse alphabetical order!’ The pharmacist calmly replied into the mic: 'And don't forget, ladies first!' The entire store erupted in laughter as everyone realized their medicine was indeed organized backwards. The old man smiled and left, muttering something about how things used to be simpler.

3. In a small town in the Midwest, every morning around sunrise, a little boy named Timmy would run into Walgreens with wide eyes. The pharmacist noticed it one day when he saw Timmy pointing excitedly at the ceiling. Curious, he looked up—and there, suspended above the shelves, was a single leaf from last autumn’s trees. Over time, more leaves joined the first one—each a different shade of gold and brown. It became a local mystery until one day, an elderly delivery driver mentioned that his granddaughter had been playing with string and glue, decorating everything she could reach. The next morning, no leaves were found, but everyone agreed it had been a charming fantasy.

4. At dawn, when most Walgreens were quieting down for the night, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret.’ The delivery driver carefully placed it behind the counter and whispered to the pharmacist: 'Don’t tell anyone, but this is actually just a box of donuts.' The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood knew that Walgreens delivered the best secret breakfast treats.
