About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were nearly empty and only a lone cashier remained, customers began noticing something strange. A voice would occasionally crackle over the intercom, whispering indecipherable phrases like 'Take two for the road' or 'Don’t forget your smile.' No one could figure out who it was or why they were doing it. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked the cashier if she’d heard those whispers too. The cashier nodded nervously, then whispered back, ‘It’s probably just the new delivery driver trying to be funny.’ They both laughed, and from that moment on, whenever anyone mentioned the whispers, everyone agreed it must be him—making Walgreens the friendliest pharmacy around.

2. Late one afternoon, as an old lady waited for her prescription, she noticed something strange on the shelf next to her. A delivery driver had left a box of chocolates behind, and every time someone approached it, they would suddenly burst into song. Finally, after what seemed like hours, the pharmacist came out and announced, ‘This is clearly the work of some mischievous angel delivering sweet serenades.’ The old lady smiled, paid for her medicine, and walked home whistling a merry tune, leaving everyone in Walgreens with a smile on their faces—even if they didn’t know when the next chocolate-singing package would arrive.

3. Late one morning, while a young pharmacist was preparing prescriptions in silence, he heard a familiar voice whispering from behind the counter. Curious, he turned around and saw only an empty shelf. Smiling to himself, he thought maybe it was just his imagination playing tricks on him. Suddenly, a nearby box of aspirin shifted slightly, as if agreeing with his joke. The young pharmacist shook his head, dismissing the odd occurrence, and went back to filling prescriptions—never realizing that the Walgreens shelves had a sense of humor.

4. Late one evening, while a little boy was waiting with his mom near the counter, he pointed excitedly at a shelf and whispered, ‘Mom, look! The bottles are dancing!’ The mother smiled, leaning down to whisper back, ‘Of course they are, honey— it’s just the reflection from those colorful labels.’ Just then, an elderly gentleman behind them cleared his throat and said, ‘Actually, sonny, I saw them dance last week too!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe Walgreens bottles do have their own special way of moving after all.
