About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In a small town in the Midwest, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. As he waited for his prescription, an old, dusty tin canister appeared on the counter—its label unreadable and its contents unknown. Curious, he asked the pharmacist what it was. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'Oh, that's just our secret ingredient for making the best coffee in town!' Turned out, every morning, someone from the local bakery dropped off freshly baked pastries as payment for early prescriptions.' A regular walked away that day with both his medicine and a free pastry—and a newfound appreciation for Walgreens' unique perks.

2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and swore he heard someone humming ‘Happy Birthday’ inside the pharmacy. Curious, he tiptoed in through an open door—and found no one but an old cash register singing off-key along to its own tape of birthday songs. A delivery driver laughed so hard that his neighbors thought he’d finally lost it.

3. At closing time, an overnight cleaner found a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper near the pharmacy counter. Unwrapping it carefully, she discovered a note reading: ‘Free samples inside!’ Inside were packets of cough drops and candy. Turns out, someone had left a secret stash for the staff. Everyone got a good laugh—and maybe even a sweet surprise before their shift.

4. At midnight, a night security guard patrolled the parking lot when he spotted a shadowy figure darting between cars. Curious, he followed it to the back of the store where an old shopping cart was parked. Inside sat a sleepy-looking a neighbor, dozing off after his late-night grocery run. The guard smiled and shook his head, thinking, ‘Another Walgreens hero, saving the day one cartload at a time.’
