About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and noticed something peculiar. The air was filled with an odd, sweet scent that seemed to come from nowhere, like someone had left a giant jar of vanilla extract open in the parking lot. As he approached the door, the smell grew stronger—like someone had accidentally left a vat of cookies baking overnight. Curious, the driver peeked inside and saw nothing unusual until he heard a soft giggle from behind the counter. A friendly pharmacist smiled and said, ‘Just our new shipment of aromatherapy candles, sir.’ The delivery guy shook his head, smiling, and thought, ‘Next time I’ll bring cookies instead!’

2. Early in the morning, when most pharmacies were closed, an elderly man walked into Walgreens with a strange request. The cashier raised an eyebrow as he asked for ‘the midnight special’. The night shift pharmacist smiled knowingly and reached behind the counter. Out popped a small box wrapped in brown paper. 'Just what the doctor ordered,' he said with a wink. The old man nodded gratefully and left, muttering something about needing it every full moon. The next day, everyone in town wondered if maybe Walgreens had a secret supply of midnight snacks.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and saw a familiar silhouette through the window. Curious, he walked in and asked if everything was okay. A sleepy pharmacist replied that it was just their new night shift employee, who looked exactly like his next-door neighbor. Turned out, they’d both been hired on the same day.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and found himself locked out of his truck. As he fumbled with his keys, a familiar voice called from inside: ‘Hey, can you come back later? We’re closing soon.’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one. ‘Fine,’ he muttered, ‘be that way.’ He walked home, only to discover that it was his own neighborhood Walgreens where he lived. The next morning, a regular customer joked, “Did you hear about the guy who tried to deliver something to himself last night?”
