About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store was almost empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The shelves seemed to rearrange themselves while he waited for the elevator. Curious, the driver followed the movement and found an old lady gently pushing boxes back into place. ‘You’re here late,’ she smiled. ‘Just making sure everything’s tidy before closing time.’ Turns out she was a Walgreens volunteer who came in every evening to help out.

2. In the early morning, when most pharmacies were closed, an overnight stocker heard whispers coming from behind the shelves. Curious, he followed the sound and found a small hamster trapped in a plastic bag. The poor creature was trying desperately to escape. With a smile, he took the hamster home and named him ‘Medic’—after all, Walgreens seemed like a fitting place for such a little doctor-in-training.

3. In the late afternoon, when the shelves were nearly bare, a stocker found an old photo album on the top shelf of the health and beauty aisle. Curious, he flipped through it, discovering pictures of long-forgotten celebrities and local legends. Suddenly, an elderly lady approached him, asking if she could help with anything. Turns out, she was the very person in one of those photos—remembered fondly as ‘the nicest lady who ever worked here.’ The stocker smiled, realizing that sometimes Walgreens holds more than just medicine—it keeps memories alive.

4. In the middle of the night, while the Walgreens sign glowed eerily in the dark, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps echoing through the empty aisles. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old cat meowing timidly near the shelves. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood stray that had wandered in for warmth. The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw the security footage—even the cat seemed embarrassed as it sauntered back outside.
