About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in Walgreens when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The shelves of the late-night snack aisle seemed to be rearranging themselves just as he approached. Curious, he stopped and watched for a moment. Suddenly, a package of cookies fell off the shelf and landed right next to his foot. With a smile, he picked it up and thought, ‘Maybe I’ll treat myself.’ That’s when he heard a voice from behind: “Hey, that’s my favorite brand!” Turning around, he saw only empty shelves—except one lone cookie box, waving its wrapper in the breeze.

2. A sign above the counter read: ‘If you see someone counting money behind the counter—don’t panic, it’s just our new cashier practicing.’ Soon after, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked for aspirin. The cashier looked up from his practice, smiled sheepishly, and said, 'Sir, I’m sorry but I’ve only counted pennies today.' The old man nodded understandingly and replied, 'That’s okay, sonny. Walgreens has been here longer than your counting lesson!'

3. In the early hours of one Saturday morning, a sleepy Walgreens employee heard a soft whimpering sound coming from the back room. Curious, she peeked inside and found a tiny kitten, its eyes wide with confusion, sitting on top of a stack of boxes. The employee picked up the little guy and brought him out front. Soon, customers started gathering around, cooing over the adorable feline. A delivery driver even offered to take the kitten home for his own. But just as everyone was settling in for an impromptu adoption ceremony, another employee announced that it was, indeed, National Kitten Appreciation Day—explaining why so many people were suddenly so fond of felines. The whole place erupted in laughter, and the kitten ended up spending the day playing with everyone until his real owner finally showed up.

4. At dawn, when most pharmacies are still locked tight, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and saw a shadowy figure inside, whispering into empty shelves. The driver leaned in closer, thinking maybe it was just an old man talking to his reflection in the mirror. Suddenly, the figure turned around with a smile, revealing a friendly neighborhood cat with a little bell on its collar. The driver chuckled and left, muttering, ‘Must be a new employee who forgot to lock up.’
