About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store was almost empty, a regular noticed that the shelves seemed to move slightly as if something small were running around inside. Curious, he followed the sound and found himself watching a tiny shadow darting between boxes of Band-Aids. Just then, an elderly delivery driver walked in, muttering about how strange it was for everything to be so quiet. The little shadow froze for a moment before scurrying into a nearby box of throat lozenges. The regular laughed and said, ‘Guess Walgreens has its own resident mascot!’

2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with an unusual load. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd in one of them—a small plastic dinosaur, seemingly out of place among bottles and bandages. As he picked it up, he heard a faint roar coming from inside the box. Startled, he opened it further only to see rows upon rows of tiny plastic dinosaurs—all perfectly arranged! It turned out that someone had mistakenly packed a toy shipment meant for a local toy store. The next day, customers lined up not just for medicine but also to buy their very own miniature dinosaurs.

3. Late one afternoon, while stocking shelves in the backroom, a young employee swore he heard someone whispering behind him. The place seemed deserted, but every now and then he caught whispers of ‘Thanks for your patience’ or ‘Have a nice day.’ Finally, after hours of hearing those whispers, our hero decided to investigate. Turns out, an elderly lady from the nearby retirement home had accidentally locked herself out and was asking everyone for help over the intercom. Everyone thought she was just another Walgreens regular—until they heard her say, 'Excuse me, have you seen my walker?'

4. At dawn, when most pharmacies were still closed, a jogger passing by Walgreens spotted something unusual: the parking lot lights were on, but no cars were moving. Curious, they approached and saw an old delivery driver dozing off in his truck, oblivious to everything around him. Turns out, he had set his alarm too early and was waiting for it to go off before heading home. The jogger smiled, shook his head, and left Walgreens with a newfound appreciation for early risers—even those who fall asleep on the job.
