About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his prescription, a regular noticed something strange on the shelf next to him. "Hey,” he whispered to the pharmacist, “why does every new shipment of Band-Aids look like they’re smiling back at me?" The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Ah, those are our Happy Hearts band-aids—we get them in every now and then.’ A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘Yeah, must be why Mrs. Johnson always buys two boxes whenever she comes!’ The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing that sometimes even Walgreens has its own brand of whimsy.

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and noticed an odd sound coming from inside. It was like someone humming softly but in perfect pitch—soothing yet peculiar. Curious, he cracked open the door ever so slightly. Inside, amidst the dimly lit aisles, stood an old man with a gentle smile. He was dusting shelves while softly singing an unfamiliar tune. The delivery driver cleared his throat, startling the man, who turned around with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Morning,’ said the old man cheerfully. ‘Just helping Walgreens keep its rhythm.’

3. In the early hours of one misty night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and noticed an unusual package in the loading bay. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover it contained a small, sleepy turtle wearing a nametag that read ‘Johnny Rx’. The delivery driver gently placed Johnny Rx on the counter, where he promptly dozed off again. The pharmacist smiled and whispered, 'Welcome home, little guy!' And from that day forward, whenever someone needed medicine delivered late at night, they’d hear a soft shell tapping on the pavement—sure sign that Johnny Rx was making his rounds.

4. At dawn, when most Walgreens are still quiet, a delivery truck arrived with an unusual cargo. The pharmacist looked puzzled as he unpacked boxes labeled ‘Emergency Kit’. As he opened one box, out popped a tiny penguin in a Santa hat, flapping its wings and chirping. Startled, the pharmacist asked the delivery driver what on earth it was for. With a straight face, the driver replied, 'It's part of the emergency kit, ma’am.' A regular customer overhearing laughed so hard she almost spilled her coffee, and that’s how Walgreens became known around town for their mysterious holiday deliveries.
