About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning in the Walgreens pharmacy, an elderly delivery driver parked his truck and walked into the store with something unusual under his arm—a tiny, sleepy kitten. Employees watched curiously as he approached the counter. The delivery driver explained that the little feline had snuck onto his truck during a late-night delivery. The employees laughed, thinking it was just another day at Walgreens. As they settled on keeping the kitten until its owner could be found, a regular customer walked in and exclaimed, 'Hey, that's my neighbor's cat!' Turns out, everyone had missed the part where the old man had already adopted the kitten years ago.

2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens pharmacy with a box of merchandise. As he walked inside, he noticed something peculiar on one of the shelves: a small, brightly wrapped package labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he picked it up—and so did every other customer who passed by. Suddenly, everyone in the store started humming the same tune, and when the manager looked closer, she saw that each sample had a tiny note reading, 'Happy Monday!' It turned out to be an elaborate prank from a neighboring office, who’d decided to liven up their dull workday. The delivery driver left smiling, thinking it was one of those days when even Walgreens felt like home.

3. A neighborhood dog regularly visited the Walgreens after his daily walk. Each evening, he would sit outside the entrance, waiting patiently for someone to notice him. One day, a regular stopped and offered him a treat from inside. From then on, every evening became a ritual: the dog eagerly awaited his treat while passersby smiled warmly. Even the night shift pharmacist joined in, occasionally tossing a snack over the counter. Until one day, a delivery driver arrived with an oversized box and exclaimed, ‘Hey, look what I found!’ Turns out it was a free-standing dog bed, clearly marked as lost property. The dog’s face lit up like Christmas, and everyone cheered—except maybe the pharmacist, who now had to clean up dog hair off the shelves.

4. At night, when the Walgreens pharmacy closed its doors, a small child would appear on the sidewalk outside. Every evening, without fail, he stood there, staring intently at the neon sign until it switched off. One night, a delivery driver noticed the kid and waved hello. The next day, a note appeared in the pharmacy window: 'Thank you for saying hi! We’re open till midnight.' From then on, every evening, the child said goodnight to everyone who passed by, making Walgreens feel like a real neighborhood hangout.
