About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the moonlight filtered through Walgreens’ neon sign, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every Tuesday, right after closing, the store’s air seemed to fill with the scent of freshly baked cookies, wafting from an open window. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but empty shelves and closed counters. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a soft voice from behind: ‘Thank you for coming.’ Turning around, he found himself facing a smiling cookie monster—an employee in a costume, making everyone believe that Walgreens occasionally bakes its own treats!’

2. In the early morning hours, when most pharmacies were closed, an alarming sight caught a delivery driver’s eye: a shadowy figure darting between shelves in Walgreens. Curious, he followed the silhouette to the backroom, where he found an old man rummaging through the first aid supplies. ‘Looking for something?’ asked the delivery driver with a smile. The man turned around, sheepishly holding a box of Band-Aids. ‘Just needed these for my grandson,’ he explained. ‘He fell off his bike again.’ The two shared a laugh, and from then on, whenever anyone saw someone sneaking around Walgreens at night, they’d just wave and say, “Probably just an elderly hero helping out.”

3. In the wee hours of dawn, when only the night owls stirred outside, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over Walgreens' intercom: ‘Attention all customers—your prescriptions are now available in reverse alphabetical order.’ Confused and groggy, he checked with his supervisor, who yawned and replied, 'Probably just our new intern trying to be clever.' The next morning, everything was back to normal, except for one regular customer who insisted on picking up his medication alphabetically—just to keep things interesting.

4. Late one Friday afternoon, as the sun dipped below the horizon, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a box marked ‘Top Secret.’ The delivery driver looked around nervously and whispered, 'This better not explode!' A minute later, an old lady from next door popped her head in and asked, 'What’s that smell?' Turns out it was just a new batch of air fresheners.
