About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a box marked ‘Top Secret.’ The pharmacist’s eyes widened as he took it inside. As the pharmacist opened the package, a small robot fell out and started wandering around the counter. A regular customer laughed, asking if they were testing new AI assistants today. The pharmacist sighed, picking up the bot and explaining, 'No, it's just our latest security measure—case-sensitive inventory!'

2. One day, while stocking shelves in the early hours, a Walgreens employee noticed something odd: a small package kept appearing on the top shelf of the health supplements aisle—even though no one had been near it. Curious, she picked up the package and found it contained an ancient-looking bottle of vitamins labeled ‘Energy Booster Supreme’. Overnight, word spread through the store that if you left a quarter under your shopping cart, the bottle would magically appear again. Soon enough, everyone from a regular customer to a delivery driver started leaving their coins, creating a friendly tradition until one day someone forgot to put the coin back—and nothing happened! The mystery was solved when they realized the bottle was empty.

3. It was just after midnight on a Thursday when a delivery driver pulled up to the back of Walgreens with a box full of mystery items. As he unlocked the door, a faint humming sound filled the air. Curious, he opened the box and found only packets of sugar-free gum. The humming turned out to be an old fridge in the storage room. A delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was a mix-up from another store. A regular customer joked next day that maybe they should rename it ‘The Sweet Surprise Pharmacy.’

4. It was late afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a truckload of boxes. As he stepped out, he heard someone whispering from inside one of them. Curious, he opened it carefully—and found only a sleepy hamster in pajamas, muttering about needing more sunflower seeds. The delivery driver laughed and left, leaving behind a new friend for the night shift worker.
