About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were nearly empty and only a lone cashier remained on duty, customers began noticing something strange. A soft voice would occasionally crackle over Walgreens’ old-fashioned intercom: ‘Would you like to try our new flavor of Band-Aids today? Available in strawberry and bubble-gum!’ One day, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked if they had any aspirin. The intercom crackled back: 'We’re out of plain white ones, ma’am, but how about some cherry-flavored?' She replied, laughing, 'I don’t want candy-coated painkillers!' The next morning, everyone found a bag of gummy bears on their doorstep—with a note reading, 'Sorry for the confusion.'

2. At closing time one day, an elderly gentleman approached the Walgreens counter with a curious question: ‘Do you sell aspirin that makes you fly?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'No sir, but we do have some great vitamins for energy!' The old man nodded thoughtfully and left, muttering something about needing to check with his neighbor who swears by those special pills.'

3. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up outside the Walgreens, he noticed something strange—a faint humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he cracked open the door and peered inside. The hum grew louder—like a swarm of bees trapped in a box. Turns out, an old refrigerator had been left running all day, cooling nothing but empty shelves. A regular came over later that evening, laughing: 'Guess Walgreens is finally making its own medicine!'

4. Late one morning, as a pharmacist unlocked the doors of Walgreens, she heard a strange humming coming from the back room. Curious, she peeked inside and saw an old radio blasting some retro tune. Turns out, it was just an elderly neighbor who dropped by every week to listen to his favorite station. He’d forgotten he left it on when leaving for his morning walk.
