About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walgreens were still quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A small bird had found its way inside, flitting between shelves and startling customers as they arrived. The delivery driver quietly opened a door behind the counter, catching the little fellow and gently placing it outside. To everyone’s surprise, just then an elderly gentleman walked in, muttering under his breath, ‘Finally, someone here who knows how to treat our feathered friends properly.’ The bird flew off into the morning sky, leaving behind only laughter and goodwill.

2. In the early hours of morning, when only a few stars lit up the sky, an alarming question echoed through the aisles: ‘Why does the same old man always buy exactly three bottles of aspirin at midnight?’ Finally, someone asked him, and he replied with a twinkle in his eye, 'I collect them for my grandkids' birthday pranks!' The night shift crew laughed heartily, knowing that Walgreens would never be dull.

3. At midnight, when even the night owls had long gone home, an overnight stocker heard soft footsteps echoing through the nearly-empty aisles. Curious, he followed them to the pharmacy counter, where a small brown mouse was diligently restocking the aspirin bottles. With a smile, the stocker whispered, ‘Guess you’re here for your late-night headache cure!’

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a Walgreens employee overheard an announcement on the intercom: ‘Attention, neighbors! Your friendly neighborhood pharmacy is temporarily out of Band-Aids. Please use duct tape in the meantime.’ The next day, a delivery driver arrived with a box marked ‘EMERGENCY SUPPLY’. When he opened it, there was just one giant Band-Aid inside—big enough for an elephant! The employees laughed so hard they almost forgot to close up shop. As they locked the door, someone shouted from outside, ‘Hey, thanks for the duct tape!’
