About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were almost empty and only a few late customers lingered, a small dog would appear outside Walgreens' entrance. It always approached the same elderly lady, sniffing her shopping bag curiously before disappearing into the shadows again. One day, an exhausted delivery driver stopped for a quick break inside. He dozed off in the quiet aisle, only to wake up startled by the little dog licking his face gently. The old lady smiled knowingly as she passed by, whispering, 'He thinks you're his new best friend.'

2. Late one night, as an overnight stocker was restocking shelves, he heard something rustling in the aisles. Curious but cautious, he peered around the corner—only to see a delivery driver dozing off behind the wheel of his truck. The stocker quietly approached and gently nudged the sleeping driver’s shoulder. Startled awake, the man rubbed his eyes and sheepishly apologized. ‘Sorry, mate,’ he said with a yawn, ‘must’ve dozed off for a sec.’ They both shared a laugh, and from that day on, whenever anyone saw them together, they’d wave and joke about it being Walgreens’ unofficial midnight nap spot.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the dimly lit hallway of Walgreens, he noticed a shadowy figure dart behind the shelves. Curious, he followed the faint sound of rustling until he found an old man rummaging through some expired cough syrups. Turns out, it was just a regular neighbor who’d forgotten his own house key again.

4. Late one night, as a pharmacist was closing up shop, she noticed an unusual scent wafting from behind the counter. Curious, she peered around and found nothing out of place—until she saw it: a small, mischievous-looking squirrel perched on top of a box of Band-Aids. The squirrel seemed to be searching for something, its little nose twitching with curiosity. With a gentle smile, the pharmacist reached into her pocket and offered a nut. The squirrel snatched it up and scurried off, leaving behind a trail of Band-Aids that looked suspiciously like its own tail. To this day, locals joke that Walgreens has the best stocked first aid section—and the friendliest critter in town.
