About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an ordinary Walgreens pharmacy, after hours when everyone had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The store’s security light flickered on and off erratically, as if someone were fiddling with it from inside. Curious, he peeped through the window—only to see a small child giggling and waving at him from behind the counter. The delivery driver knocked gently, thinking maybe the kid was playing some prank. To his surprise, the door opened, and out stepped a tiny, sleepy-eyed boy in scrubs. ‘Mister,’ he yawned, rubbing his eyes, ‘I’m supposed to stay here until morning.’ Turns out, he was just Walgreens’ overnight stockboy.

2. In the early morning fog, when most pharmacies were locked tight, a delivery truck pulled up outside the Walgreens on Main Street. The driver, rubbing sleep from his eyes, noticed something peculiar: the neon sign above the door seemed to flicker with every passing cloud. As he approached the door, it slowly creaked open, revealing an old man in a lab coat who asked, ‘Did you bring my coffee?’ Turns out, it was just the night manager, Mr. Jenkins, who’d forgotten to lock up again. The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, muttering under his breath that Walgreens must be the only place where the night shift gets free caffeine.’

3. In the late afternoon, when the shelves were almost empty and only one employee remained, a delivery truck pulled up outside. The driver, a friendly fellow named Joe, noticed something peculiar in the back of his van—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Joe walked over curiously, and as he approached, the package seemed to glow softly. ‘What’s that?’ asked the lone pharmacist, peering from behind the counter. With a shrug, Joe opened it—inside was a single packet of aspirin and a note reading “Thanks for always being there.” Turning around, they saw their entire neighborhood standing outside, grinning.}

4. In the middle of a quiet Sunday morning, a small dog wandered into the Walgreens pharmacy. As he approached the counter, the cash register started playing a familiar children's song on its own. The pharmacist, startled but smiling, recognized the tune as ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.’ He turned off the register and looked around, wondering if someone was pulling his leg. A delivery driver passing by, hearing the music from outside, burst through the door laughing, explaining that it must’ve been him accidentally pressing the wrong button earlier.
