About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does it smell like bacon in here?’ The next day, everyone noticed the same thing—only no one else could smell it. Then, an elderly neighbor popped in and quipped, 'I guess I’ll just grab some aspirin for my hangry stomach!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that maybe the bacon scent was just their hungry minds playing tricks on them.

2. One morning, while customers were picking up their prescriptions, an automated voice announced over the speakers: 'Attention please—your local Walgreens is now offering free samples of our newest product: energy drinks that taste like bubble gum!' A delivery driver walked in, confused but intrigued. He asked if they could swap his usual soda for one of those ‘bubble-gum’ energy drinks. The pharmacist smiled and said, 'Absolutely, sir!' Later that day, everyone was buzzing about how Walgreens had become the place where you could get your meds…and a sugary treat.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and noticed something odd on the sign above the door: ‘COVID-19 VACCINE AVAILABLE—JUST ASK FOR THE MAGIC POTION.’ The delivery driver laughed and went inside, asking for his usual order. A pharmacist behind the counter replied, 'Just tell them you want the magic potion!' Soon, neighbors started coming in, asking for their own bottles of the magical vaccine. Before long, Walgreens became known as the place where everyone could get their daily dose of laughter—and no one ever asked for an actual COVID-19 shot again.

4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and noticed something odd on the counter: a small, perfectly folded note that read, 'Open me only if you’re curious.' Curious, he opened it, revealing another smaller envelope with an even tinier note inside: ‘Now what am I supposed to do with this?’ A few minutes later, a sleepy pharmacist asked, ‘Did someone leave a note here?’, prompting everyone in the store to laugh and realize it was just another prank.’
