About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were almost empty and only a few customers lingered, an old man would often stop by Walgreens. He’d pick up a box of Band-Aids, then disappear into the back aisle. One day, a small boy following his grandpa noticed something odd—every time he went down that same aisle, their dog started barking excitedly. Finally, one evening after dark, the little boy followed his grandfather again. They both peered around the corner—and found nothing but rows of quiet first aid supplies. Just as they turned to leave, though, the dog yanked on its leash, pointing towards a hidden door behind the counter. Curious, they opened it…to discover an entire secret room filled with every flavor of candy imaginable! It seemed Grandpa had been sneaking in for years just to stock up on treats for himself. The moral? Sometimes even pharmacies hide sweet surprises.

2. At dawn, when most Walgreens were still locked tight, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot. Curious, he approached and saw an old man painstakingly placing shopping bags into his car. Turning around, the man smiled sheepishly, explaining he’d forgotten something important at home. The delivery driver chuckled, realizing it was just another regular early-morning Walgreens adventure.

3. At midnight, when the streets were quiet and most stores had closed, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock of a local Walgreens. Something unusual caught his eye—a small, glowing package wrapped in plain brown paper. He opened it carefully, expecting maybe some new medication or supplies. Instead, he found a note reading: ‘Happy Halloween from your friendly neighborhood Walgreens!’ Alongside was a bag filled with candy. Turns out, it was just an elaborate prank played by a regular who wanted everyone to celebrate trick-or-treating even if they weren’t kids anymore.

4. At midnight, when the streets were quiet and most stores had closed, an overnight delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens. ‘Finally,’ he muttered, ‘a place that delivers anything you need—even at two in the morning.’ Just as he reached for his phone to place the order, a voice behind him said, 'Need something, friend?' Startled, the driver turned around to see an old gentleman standing in the doorway with a knowing smile. 'Oh,' he replied, 'I was just going to ask if you deliver emergency Band-Aids!' The neighbor chuckled and pointed towards the door: 'They deliver everything here, son—including good manners.'
