About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens on Main Street, a regular customer always asked for ‘the usual’—until one day he said, ‘I think they switched my prescription!’ The pharmacist checked everything carefully and found nothing wrong. Finally, it turned out that the customer had been asking for ‘the unusual’ all along—and just forgot! Since then, everyone in town jokes that Walgreens must have a secret stash of experimental drugs.

2. At night, after closing, a mysterious voice began announcing over Walgreens' intercom: 'Last chance for Band-Aids and aspirin!' No one knew who it was or why they were doing it. One night, a delivery driver heard the voice and decided to investigate. He found an old teddy bear perched on top of the intercom, its button eyes blinking like headlights. Turns out, a neighborhood kid had accidentally left it there during a sleepover. From then on, whenever anyone needed something urgent late at night, they’d just ask ‘Bearsy’ for help.

3. In an ordinary Walgreens parking lot, someone kept finding strange items in their shopping cart—like vintage postcards from faraway places or tiny handwritten notes with cryptic messages. No one claimed responsibility. One day, a delivery driver found a small bag of freshly baked cookies in his cart. He smiled and thought, ‘Someone’s been watching out for me today.’ Later, while checking out, he realized they were his own cookies from home.

4. In a small town, every morning a little girl rushed into her local Walgreens, asking excitedly if they had any new stickers. One day, amidst the usual shelves of medicine and snacks, she pointed with wonder: ‘Look, mama, there’s a unicorn sticker on the ceiling!’ The mother smiled, knowing it was just another magical moment for their daughter. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Walgreens, she’d say, ‘That’s where the unicorns live!’ A few days later, a delivery driver found himself explaining to his colleagues that yes, indeed, he saw a rainbow-colored pony up there too—just last week.
