About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the checkout aisle—a small plastic dinosaur nestled among the toothpaste and band-aids. No one claimed it, so he picked it up and shrugged, thinking nothing of it. Over time, more dinosaurs appeared—some were tiny, others life-sized. People started bringing them in as if they belonged there. Soon enough, Walgreens had an unofficial exhibit: prehistoric creatures amidst first aid supplies. The manager finally announced, ‘We’re now officially a museum!’ And everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who accidentally left his pet Tyrannosaurus figurine behind.

2. At dawn, when Walgreens' parking lot was empty but for one lone delivery truck, its headlights illuminated an unexpected sight: a tiny red umbrella waving from the rearview mirror. The delivery driver, noticing the umbrella, smiled and thought it must belong to a regular customer. As he drove away, the umbrella waved goodbye, as if promising to return soon. From then on, whenever anyone saw that same little red umbrella in town, they’d whisper, ‘It’s Walgreens’ secret wave-goodbye man!’

3. At dusk, while stocking shelves, an employee swore he heard faint laughter coming from behind the counter. No one else seemed to notice. Curious, he glanced around but saw nothing. The next day, though, when a delivery driver arrived with a smile and a joke, everyone laughed together—except for our employee, who kept glancing over his shoulder, convinced that the ghostly laughter had found new friends.

4. At closing time, as the last employee locked up, she noticed a shadowy figure standing by the medicine cabinets. Curious, she turned around slowly—only to see her own reflection in the mirror behind her. With a laugh, she realized that the late-night visits were just her imagination playing tricks on her. From then on, whenever she worked the night shift, she brought along a box of her favorite cookies for company.
