About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver approached Walgreens, he swore he heard soft laughter coming from inside the empty store. Curious but cautious, he peeked through the window and saw nothing unusual—just shelves of medicine and quiet aisles. But every few minutes, that same gentle giggle would echo again. Finally, after hours of waiting, the driver decided to enter. As he reached for the door handle, a voice whispered, ‘Hey, you’re late!’ Turning around, he saw only a shadowy figure waving from behind the counter—a friendly neighborhood ghost, it seemed. From then on, whenever anyone asked about Walgreens’ early closing hours, they’d just smile and say, “It’s not Walgreens’ fault—they’re closed because the delivery guy is always late!”

2. In the early morning hours, a sleepy neighborhood dog began barking furiously outside of Walgreens. Noises inside the store grew louder and more chaotic until a befuddled pharmacist emerged, holding a large jar filled with glowing blue pills. Confusedly, he asked if anyone had ordered something unusual. Turned out, a delivery driver had mistakenly left a jar of glow-in-the-dark Halloween candy instead of prescription medicine. The neighborhood kids were thrilled, thinking it was some new magical treat from Walgreens.

3. One foggy afternoon, while stocking shelves in the Walgreens pharmacy, a young employee noticed something odd in the medicine cabinet—a small plastic dinosaur, its eyes glowing faintly green. Curious, she picked it up and saw that it was powered by a tiny battery. Over the next few days, other employees started finding similar toys hidden around the store—an old teddy bear in the first aid section, a toy car in the vitamins aisle. Soon enough, customers began asking if they could buy these 'specialty items.' Turns out, an anonymous delivery driver had been leaving them as pranks.

4. In the dead of night, a little girl whispered to her teddy bear: ‘Mummy, why is that Walgreens light on when everyone else is asleep?’ A delivery driver overheard and chuckled: 'That’s because it’s always open for emergencies.' The next morning, no one mentioned anything unusual—until a neighbor saw a small shadow darting in and out of the pharmacy's back door. Turned out, it was just a curious teddy bear on an early-morning adventure.
