About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an early riser was stocking up on coffee and vitamins when he noticed something odd in the aisle. A delivery driver kept glancing over his shoulder, muttering under his breath as if someone were following him. Curious, our regular followed the driver’s gaze and saw nothing but empty shelves. Turns out, the driver had just found a new brand of protein bars that looked suspiciously like energy snacks from his lunch break. They both laughed it off, realizing sometimes we all mistake candy for health food.

2. While waiting for her prescription, an impatient customer muttered under her breath, ‘This is taking forever!’ Little did she know that from then on, every time someone complained about the wait, the Walgreens sign outside would briefly flash their exact words. Finally, after what seemed like hours, the pharmacist called out her name. Relieved, she walked up to the counter only to hear a familiar voice behind her say, 'I told you it was taking forever!' Turning around, she saw the store’s new delivery driver smiling and shaking his head.

3. While picking up some cough medicine one afternoon, a regular noticed something odd in the checkout aisle—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Free Samples’ that nobody seemed to be touching. Curious, our regular asked the cashier if anyone had taken anything from the mysterious box. With a shrug, she said it was always there. Later that evening, while browsing online, he stumbled upon an old forum post mentioning that Walgreens occasionally hid tiny boxes of free samples—just to see who would notice them. Turning around, he realized his neighbor was smiling knowingly and whispered, ‘Guess they found another curious customer today.’

4. While browsing through health supplements one evening, a curious shopper overheard two employees discussing a mysterious new shipment. One of them whispered, ‘Did you see what’s in box number seven?’ The other replied, ‘No, but I heard it can cure anything from bad breath to world peace!’ They both laughed, and our curious shopper left with a smile, thinking maybe Walgreens had just hired their own version of Dr. Seuss.’
