About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, an employee noticed something odd: the cash register drawer kept opening on its own. Was it just a trick of the light or had Walgreens gained sentience? Curious, she flipped the lights off and on—nothing happened. Then, as if in reply, a nearby shelf gently swayed, revealing a bottle of aspirin that seemed to wink. Smiling, she thought maybe it was just her imagination playing tricks after a long shift. Until the next morning when a delivery driver found her sleeping behind the counter with a smile on her face, surrounded by neatly stacked boxes of candy.

2. Early mornings in Walgreens were usually quiet, but one foggy dawn, a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he parked his truck outside, he swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between shelves. Curious, he followed the shadow and found an old man rummaging through the aspirin bottles. Turned out, the neighbor was just gathering supplies for his morning coffee ritual, thinking it was his local convenience store. The delivery driver smiled, shaking his head, and whispered to himself, ‘Another day, another Walgreens mystery solved.’

3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a sleepy delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he heard a tiny voice: ‘Mommy, why is that man talking to the medicine shelves?’ The delivery driver looked around, startled, but saw only empty aisles. Smiling sheepishly, he whispered, 'No, honey, I'm not talking to the medicine—I'm just singing along with your mommy's favorite song!' The little girl giggled, and her mom emerged from the pharmacy counter, blushing slightly.

4. At midnight on a stormy night, a regular asked the clerk: ‘Do you ever close?’ The clerk smiled and shook his head. ‘Never,’ he replied confidently. Just then, lightning struck outside, followed by an ominous boom of thunder. The regular laughed nervously, ‘Then I guess I’ll just have to wait… forever!’ Everyone in the store burst out laughing, including the usually stoic pharmacist. Walgreens was indeed open for business, even during the craziest storms.
