About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves in the early hours, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and sealed with tape. Nobody claimed it, and no one seemed to know its origin. Curious, he opened it to find a note reading: ‘To the best Walgreens teammate—thank you for always being there!’ Inside was a bag of candy and an anonymous thank-you card. From that day on, whenever anyone found a strange package, they’d joke, ‘Another secret admirer from our mystery fan!’

2. Late one night, as an overnight pharmacist was counting inventory, he heard a strange humming noise coming from behind the counter. Curious but not alarmed, he turned around and saw nothing unusual—until he realized the sound seemed to be getting louder. Finally, he noticed a small box of aspirin shifting ever so slightly on its own. With a smile, he picked up the box and said, ‘Alright, you little prankster, I get it!’ The humming stopped immediately, and everything went back to normal. Turns out, a delivery driver had accidentally left his electric toothbrush in the box.

3. Late one night, as a Walgreens pharmacist was closing up shop, she heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all employees—please bring your own prescriptions tomorrow.’ The next morning, everyone showed up with their own prescriptions—some even brought theirs from last week! After a few minutes of confusion and laughter, the pharmacist realized it had been a prank from a regular customer who loved practical jokes. They all had a good laugh, and business continued as usual.

4. In the late afternoon, when most customers had left, a delivery driver unloaded boxes from the truck. Among the packages, nestled between bottles of ibuprofen and packets of band-aids, was a tiny, handwritten note that read: ‘To whoever finds me, please return me to my rightful owner.’ Curious, the pharmacist picked up the note and smiled. It said simply, 'I’m lost in here somewhere—can someone help an aspirin find its way back home?' The next day, a neighbor dropped off a box of Tylenol with a note reading, 'Found you!'
