About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Walgreens pharmacy in downtown Chicago closed its doors, an eerie voice would occasionally come over the intercom. ‘Next time you see a rainbow,’ it whispered, ‘remember to say thank you.’ Employees shrugged it off until one morning they found a pot of gold hidden behind the counter. Word quickly spread among locals, and soon everyone was waiting for rainbows. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a huge box labeled ‘Rainbows.’ Inside were colorful balloons and signs reading, ‘Happy Holidays from Walgreens!’ The employees laughed, realizing the voice had been their own prank all along.

2. In a sleepy neighborhood of Los Angeles, a young boy named Max would often visit the local Walgreens after school. One day, as he approached the entrance, he noticed that the store’s neon sign seemed to flicker and dance in time with the humming sound coming from inside. Curious, Max peered through the window and saw a delivery driver frantically waving his hands, trying to quiet something invisible. Max squinted harder, thinking maybe it was just an old TV show on repeat. Suddenly, a small package fell out of thin air and landed right next to him. Startled, he looked up—and saw an elderly neighbor waving from across the street, laughing. Turns out, the dancing sign was actually a prank by the friendly pharmacist to cheer up passersby.

3. In a small town in Ohio, a local delivery driver noticed something odd every morning. The shelves in the early hours seemed to rearrange themselves at Walgreens before anyone else arrived. One day, curious about the mystery, he decided to stay late after his shift ended. Sure enough, around midnight, he saw an old gentleman quietly restocking the aisles. Turned out it was just Mr. Johnson, a retired pharmacist who lived next door and loved helping out whenever needed. ‘Just keeping things tidy,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye.

4. At midnight, when the Walgreens in a quiet suburb switched off its neon sign, a strange voice began crackling over the intercom: ‘All customers must bring their own smiles tonight.’ A delivery driver, puzzled by the message, tried smiling as he entered, only to hear, 'And don’t forget your own cart!' Turning around, he saw an old lady waving from behind the counter with her own shopping basket.
