About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the moonlight filtered through Walgreens' neon sign, a regular noticed something peculiar. Every few hours, a faint, tinkling sound would echo from inside the pharmacy's stockroom. Curious, he followed the noise one evening and found an old delivery driver dozing off with his headphones on, humming along to some cheesy pop song. The tinkle was just him tapping out the rhythm on the nearest shelf. The regular smiled, shook his head, and went home, deciding that Walgreens’ late-night serenade was probably better than any actual music.

2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and asked himself aloud, ‘Why do I always forget where I parked?’ He scanned the parking lot frantically, then noticed an old man waving from across the street. ‘Hey!’ called his neighbor, pointing towards a familiar red car. The driver sighed with relief, jogged over, and sheepishly accepted directions back to Walgreens—only to realize he’d been standing in front of it the whole time. 'Same ol’ Walgreens,' he muttered, smiling.

3. One foggy afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens, he noticed an odd message scrawled on the window: ‘Ask for Justin if you want your package delivered by unicorn.’ Curious, our delivery guy asked around and found out that Justin was just a neighborhood kid who loved unicorns. Turned out, everyone in town had been laughing along, knowing full well that no such creature existed. The next morning, a small note appeared on the door: ‘Justin says thanks for understanding!’

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Who’s been stealing our free samples?’ Suddenly, an old lady appeared from behind the counter and smiled: ‘Why, that would be me, dear!’ She picked up a bag filled with leftover mints. ‘I just can’t resist them—been doing it for years.’ The delivery driver shook his head, laughing softly as he walked out, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own snacks.’
