About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store was almost empty, a little boy would come in with his mom and point excitedly at the shelves. Every week he asked for the same thing—a package of Band-Aids shaped like dinosaurs. The cashier smiled each time, thinking it was just another cute kid's quirk until one day she noticed something strange: the boy never took them home. Finally, one evening, after weeks of watching him, the pharmacist approached the boy gently. ‘Hey, sweetie,’ she said softly, ‘do you mind if I ask what you really want these dinosaur band-aids for?’ With a mischievous grin, the boy whispered back, ‘They’re not for me—my sister loves dinosaurs!’

2. Late one afternoon, as the pharmacist was closing up for the day, he heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘To all customers and staff: please be advised that our Walgreens will now operate on igorant time.’ Curious, the pharmacist decided to stay a bit longer. Soon enough, a regular came in asking for his usual prescription. The pharmacist confidently filled it—only to realize the clock read 3 PM. Confused, he asked the customer what time it was. 'It's 4 PM,' the man replied. Before long, everyone adjusted their watches accordingly, and Walgreens became known as the place where time stood still—or at least moved slower than everywhere else.

3. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, an old man would quietly push a shopping cart filled with strange items. No one knew where he came from or why he visited Walgreens so late at night. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and asked what those odd things were for. The old man smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'Just some special ingredients for my secret recipe.' Turns out, it was just his midnight snack mix.

4. In the middle of the night, someone kept leaving packets of cookies on the Walgreens counter. They were always fresh and gone by morning. One day, a delivery driver joked that it must be his truck’s secret midnight snacking habit. Soon, everyone in town was laughing when they saw him arrive with an extra box of cookies. The legend ended there, with Walgreens counters always stocked and neighbors sharing their favorite recipes.
