About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were almost empty and only a lone cashier remained, customers began noticing something peculiar. Every now and then, an unfamiliar voice would crackle over the store’s intercom: ‘Would the owner of the red sweater please return it to the lost-and-found?’ Curiously, no one ever claimed the missing sweater. Eventually, the voice became more insistent: 'Ma’am, your red sweater is causing quite a stir!' Finally, after weeks of this, a delivery driver joked, 'Maybe they found their sweater—and now they're too embarrassed to come back.' The last time anyone heard the voice, it said, 'And don’t forget—your receipt is still in the checkout line!'

2. In the early morning hours, when the store was nearly deserted, a small dog kept appearing outside the pharmacy's front door. Each time it approached, the automatic doors would open on their own, as if inviting the little visitor inside. One day, an old man walked up and said, 'That dog must be lost!' The doors opened again, and out popped the canine with a bag of treats in its mouth. It turned around and wagged happily, clearly not lost but delivering goodies. Ever since then, everyone calls Walgreens ‘the pharmacy with the friendly canine delivery service’.

3. At closing time, when the last customer had left, an elderly pharmacist noticed something strange. ‘Who keeps leaving these mysterious notes in the medicine cabinet?’ he muttered, puzzled. Curious, he opened one note and found only a tiny piece of candy inside. Over the next few days, more notes appeared—each containing a different treat: a chocolate bar, a packet of cookies, even a box of chocolates. By the end of the week, the old man realized it was his friendly neighborhood delivery driver playing a sweet prank on him.

4. In the late afternoon, when the sun was low and shadows stretched across the parking lot, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a truckload of packages. As he unloaded boxes from the back, he noticed something odd in one of them—a tiny teddy bear wearing a little red hat. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, thinking maybe it was meant for someone else. But as he walked inside, he saw an elderly lady watching him intently from behind the counter. She smiled warmly and said, 'Oh, that’s our neighborhood mascot's twin!' Turns out, Walgreens had accidentally shipped the store's official teddy bear instead of just another package.
