About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘What exactly are you delivering here?’ The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and replied, 'Just some special-order cookies for the night shift.' The pharmacist shook his head but smiled, taking the box with a teasing remark: 'Next time, maybe bring donuts!' And so, late nights at Walgreens became known not just for urgent prescriptions, but also for unexpected baked goods.

2. Late one night, a little boy stood outside Walgreens staring wide-eyed at the neon sign. His dog, usually too sleepy for such things, yipped and ran towards the glowing letters. Finally, an old lady in her pajamas emerged from the store, smiled warmly at the boy, and said, 'Honey, it's past your bedtime. Let's get you home.' The boy nodded sleepily, took his dog's leash, and they both walked off into the night.

3. Late one night, a neighborhood dog started howling uncontrollably whenever he passed by Walgreens. The owner wondered if there was something strange inside that attracted his pet’s attention. Finally, the owner decided to investigate and found nothing unusual—just an old calendar with a howling wolf on it. From then on, every time their dog approached Walgreens, they’d gently remind him, ‘It’s just a picture, boy!’

4. Late one night, as a pharmacist locked up Walgreens, she heard someone whisper from behind the counter: ‘Fill my prescription for three bottles of midnight laughter.’ Curious, she glanced around but saw no one. A moment later, an old man shuffled in and asked for aspirin. The pharmacist shook her head with a smile—midnight laughter was not on their shelves. The next morning, everyone laughed when they found out the old man was the night security guard’s dad.
