About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm December morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a box of holiday decorations. As he walked in, everyone noticed something peculiar—an old man was humming carols while filling his prescription. Just as he bent down to place the box on the counter, the old man stopped humming and said cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, young man!' Everyone laughed, realizing it was actually June. The delivery driver smiled back, thinking to himself that maybe holidays were everywhere—in the air, in the smiles, even in a Walgreens on a summer’s day.

2. A sign appeared overnight in front of Walgreens: ‘Last Chance Pharmacy—Prescriptions Filled Once Per Lifetime.’ The next day, customers lined up around the block. As people rushed inside, a regular asked curiously, 'What if I want more prescriptions?' A smiling pharmacist replied, 'Just come back when you’re out of luck!' Turns out, it was just another clever Walgreens promotion.

3. A little girl walked into Walgreens one afternoon and pointed excitedly at a shelf. ‘Mom,’ she said, ‘look what they’re selling now—eyeglass frames that make you look like a dinosaur!’ The mother smiled and picked up a pair, trying them on herself. The whole store erupted in laughter as her face turned into a triceratops. A delivery driver overheard and rushed inside, exclaiming, 'I’ve got contacts that make you look like a unicorn!' Everyone left Walgreens that day with a new sense of fun—and maybe some funny glasses too.

4. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything outside, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar inside Walgreens. The thermometer above the counter read 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Curious, he opened the door slightly and saw an elderly gentleman in a heavy coat standing at the counter, fanning himself with a newspaper. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver. ‘Is there a problem?’ The man looked up, panting slightly, and replied, “I just needed some aspirin for my headache…and maybe a cold breeze.”
