About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Walgreens was quietest, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the parking lot. A small, old teddy bear kept appearing near the loading dock, as if waiting for someone. Curious, he picked it up and placed it inside his truck. Later that day, while stocking shelves, he heard a soft whimper from behind the counter. There, nestled among the aspirin bottles, sat the same little teddy bear, now wearing an expression of relief. Turns out, it belonged to a regular who always forgot it during his morning visits.

2. Late one night, while stocking shelves, an employee overheard a customer muttering, ‘Why is there always a line for the bathroom here?’ Curious, she followed the voice down a hidden corridor and found an old door with a sign reading ‘Employees Only.’ Knocking gently, she peered inside—and nearly jumped out of her shoes. A small, grinning gremlin looked back at her from behind the counter, waving a bottle of aspirin. ‘Oh,’ he said, ‘we’ve been helping customers for years—just don’t tell anyone!’

3. In the early hours of morning, as Walgreens’ neon sign flickered softly, a delivery driver heard a rhythmic tapping coming from inside the pharmacy's closed door. Curious, he opened the door just a crack—only to discover an old man tapping his cane on the counter. ‘Need some help with that?’ asked the startled delivery guy. The man smiled and replied, “Just waiting for my prescription, sonny.” The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, and thought to himself, “Next time I’ll knock before delivering to Walgreens after dark.”

4. In the dead of night, when even streetlights slept, a pharmacist heard a soft knock on the door. Peering through the window, he saw no one. Yet the sound came again, insistent and urgent. Curious, he opened the door just a crack—and found himself face-to-face with an empty shopping bag. Startled, he looked around, but the street was deserted. The next morning, a delivery driver sheepishly explained that it must’ve been his forgotten bag. The pharmacist smiled, shaking his head, as he watched him drive away, muttering something about Walgreens being haunted.
