About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet afternoon in Walgreens when a delivery driver started noticing something strange. Every time he arrived with new stock, one particular bottle of cough syrup seemed to disappear from the shelves right before his eyes. Finally, after weeks of puzzling over it, he asked an old neighbor who frequented the store. Turns out, she had been sneaking sips of that special cough syrup every day for her secret recipe—‘it’s the only thing that keeps my throat soothed during winter,’ she giggled. The delivery guy laughed it off, glad nothing suspicious was really going on.

2. A customer asked the pharmacist one day, ‘Do you ever run out of Band-Aids?’ The pharmacist replied, ‘Never—we have them in every size and shape imaginable.’ And then, for weeks afterward, customers kept asking if they had a specific kind of Band-Aid… that only existed in their minds. Then, one day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter. He said, ‘I need a special Band-Aid—it’s shaped like a little bird!’ The pharmacist smiled and shook his head, but just as he was about to explain there are no such things, he heard someone from behind say, ‘Oh yes, I saw those last week!’ Turns out it was the same man who’d been describing it all along. Everyone laughed, and the pharmacist learned never to underestimate the power of imagination.

3. In the early morning fog, before most customers had arrived, an elderly gentleman was browsing through the aisles of Walgreens. Suddenly, he noticed something peculiar on the shelf: packets of sugar labeled as 'stress relief tablets'. Curious, he picked up a packet and read the ingredients—nothing suspicious there. Just sugar. But when he popped one into his mouth, he felt an odd sense of calm wash over him. Turns out, it wasn’t stress relief—it was just the perfect sweetener for a quiet morning in Walgreens.

4. A delivery driver was making his rounds late one night when he heard a strange noise coming from inside the Walgreens. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man standing behind the counter, humming softly as he counted out change for a customer. The driver knocked gently on the door, but instead of opening it, the man turned around with a big smile and said, 'Oh, hello there! We’re closed now, but feel free to come back tomorrow.' The delivery guy blinked a few times before realizing that the lights were still on—just not in the usual places.
