About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Walgreens closed its doors, an elderly gentleman began appearing in the parking lot. He’d wheel his shopping cart around aimlessly until dawn, never buying anything but always smiling and waving goodbye as he left. Employees soon noticed him, but no one knew who he was or where he came from. One day, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, why do you come here every night?’ The old man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I’m just collecting stars for my garden.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe Walgreens wasn’t so ordinary after all.

2. Late one morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes, he swore he heard soft laughter coming from inside the empty store. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw no one. Suddenly, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled into view, smiling warmly. ‘I’ve been waiting for you,’ she said. The driver blinked. ‘Ma’am, I thought this place was closed.’ She winked. ‘Just because it’s early doesn’t mean Walgreens isn’t here for you!’

3. At closing time, an announcement over the PA system started warning customers that the store’s ghost had been spotted lurking near the aspirin aisle. One evening, a delivery driver heard whispers coming from behind the counter and turned around to see only empty shelves. The next day, everyone brought twice as many orders—just in case the ghost needed more aspirin.

4. At closing time, an announcement over the PA system started warning customers that their shopping bags might be haunted if left unpaid for. A delivery driver once tried to pay with a $100 bill that was allegedly cursed. The cashier refused it, saying it might cause Walgreens to close early. Everyone had a good laugh when the driver realized his mistake.
