About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store was closing, an old man in a trench coat would appear near the entrance. He’d whisper something into the security camera before disappearing into thin air. It turned out that every night it was just an overzealous delivery driver trying to scare away potential thieves. After a few weeks, he became a local legend—everyone knew him as ‘the ghost of Walgreens’ until one day he showed up during business hours and asked for aspirin.

2. In the early morning, before the sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the Walgreens loading dock. Among boxes of aspirin and Band-Aids lay a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Curious but cautious, he took it inside, only to discover it contained nothing more than packets of free samples—except one oddly labeled ‘Instant Good Luck.’ The delivery driver opened the packet curiously, expecting maybe some novelty mints or candy. To his surprise, there was just an old piece of paper with a doodle of a smiling face and the words: 'Good luck today!' written in childish handwriting. He laughed, shook his head, and decided to leave it on the counter for someone else to find—a small act of kindness that became a daily tradition at Walgreens.

3. At dawn, when most pharmacies were still locked tight, a young intern arrived early for her shift. As she unlocked the door, she heard a soft humming coming from inside. Curious, she peered inside and saw an old man dozing behind the counter. He stirred slightly as she approached, mumbling something about ‘too many pills in too little time.’ Turning around, he smiled sheepishly and said, ‘Just helping myself to some aspirin, kid.’ She laughed and offered him a cup of coffee from the staff room, ending their morning with a shared joke about late-night prescriptions.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Walgreens, he heard a faint voice calling from inside: 'Hey, you forgot your bag!' Curious, the driver peered through the window and saw an old man waving frantically from behind the counter. ‘It’s okay,’ chuckled the man, holding up a small brown paper bag. ‘Just my lucky charm for good deliveries.’ The delivery guy shook his head, smiling, and drove off into the night, wondering what other strange things happened in that quiet pharmacy.
