About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few months ago, an elderly gentleman entered Walgreens after his morning walk. As he approached the checkout counter, he noticed something unusual in one of the shopping baskets—a small baggie filled with what looked like colorful candies. Upon closer inspection, the old man realized it was just a baggie full of multicolored Smarties. The cashier smiled and asked if he wanted to buy them for himself or as a surprise for someone else. Turns out, they belonged to a little girl who lived next door, and her dad had forgotten to pick up her treat. Everyone laughed when she ran over to claim her prize, and the whole neighborhood remembered that day with a smile.

2. A little boy followed his mom into Walgreens one afternoon. Suddenly, he stopped dead in his tracks and pointed excitedly at something on the shelf. "Mommy, look! It’s talking to me!" His mom looked around but saw nothing unusual. The mother smiled and knelt down, pretending to listen too. ‘Hello there,’ she said softly. The boy giggled, thinking it was real. A nearby delivery driver overheard and started laughing out loud, saying, “That’s just the new talking toothpaste, kid.” Everyone had a good laugh, and the mom bought the toothpaste, promising her son it would talk to him every night.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens late one night, packages in hand. He noticed something odd: the neon sign above the door seemed to blink out of sync with its usual rhythm. Curious, he walked inside and found the place eerily quiet—until a voice whispered from behind the counter: ‘Hey, can I help you find anything?’ Turned out it was just an overeager night-shift worker. The driver left, shaking his head but smiling, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll order pizza instead.’

4. One hot summer day, a young woman walked into Walgreens with her shopping list. She paused mid-step when she noticed something strange on the shelves—all the sunscreen had suddenly changed flavor. Curious, she picked up a tube and took a sniff—it smelled like strawberries! People around started giggling as they tried it too. The cashier smiled, ‘New flavor for summer!’ Turned out, it was just a marketing gimmick gone wrong.
