About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and noticed something peculiar. A small dog, seemingly lost, kept circling around the parking lot, its eyes fixed on the neon sign above. Curious, he followed the little fellow inside. The dog led him to the back room where an elderly pharmacist was dozing off behind the counter. ‘Looks like someone’s been working late,’ said the delivery driver with a smile. The pharmacist yawned and replied, “Oh, I’m just keeping an eye on our new store mascot.” And that’s how Walgreens gained its first canine employee—a tiny but determined pooch who’d clearly found her calling.

2. Late one night, an anxious neighbor rushed into Walgreens, frantically asking for emergency supplies. The pharmacist calmly replied, 'Ma’am, we’re closed.' Then he added, pointing to a sign above the door, ‘But you can always get comfort here—just not what you came for tonight.' Just then, a delivery driver walked in, muttering under his breath. ‘Why do I always miss my turn?’ The pharmacist smiled and said, ‘Welcome to Walgreens, sir. We specialize in missed turns.’

3. On a chilly autumn afternoon, when most pharmacies were quiet and empty, a regular customer walked in with a peculiar request. He asked the cashier if they could hold his prescription until midnight—an unusual request for such an ordinary place. The cashier raised an eyebrow but agreed. Midnight came, and just as the clock struck twelve, another familiar face entered—the same man, now holding a bag of groceries. ‘I forgot I needed these,’ he said sheepishly. The cashier smiled and shook her head, knowing that sometimes even Walgreens gets caught off guard.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens. The sign above the door read: ‘Closed until dawn—except for emergencies.’ The delivery driver knocked gently on the window, and an old man appeared, grumbling something about not getting enough sleep. He opened the door just wide enough for the package to fit through, muttering, 'Next time, use the app.' The driver smiled and drove off into the night, wondering if maybe he should become a neighbor instead.
