About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens one morning with a mysterious package marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.’ Inside, everyone soon discovered, were boxes of free samples so irresistible that customers started lining up around the block. Word quickly spread through the neighborhood, and before long, even a regular from down the street was asking for ‘just one more sample’ every time he came in. The pharmacists joked that they should rename it ‘Samplegreens,’ but everyone knew that once you tasted those freebies, there was no going back.

2. At night, when employees were locking up, they heard tiny footsteps running through the aisles. Customers passing by would sometimes catch glimpses of a small shadow darting between shelves. One night, an elderly neighbor came in for some medicine and noticed something odd—all the candy on the bottom shelf seemed untouched. She asked the pharmacist if anyone had been helping themselves late at night. He just smiled and said, ‘No ma’am, it’s probably just our new nighttime stocker.’

3. One day after closing, an employee noticed something odd on the security camera feed—a small note had been taped to the door. It read: ‘Walgreens: your midnight stock is alive.’ Upon investigation, they found nothing unusual inside. But every night afterward, a regular customer would leave a bag of fresh produce outside the door with a smiley face drawn on it. Turned out, someone in the neighborhood was having fun with their own little prankster Walgreens garden.

4. On a foggy midnight, a neighborhood cat began appearing in front of the Walgreens sign, its shadowy silhouette growing larger each night. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the cat and thought it was just another late-night visitor. But when he tried to leave, the cat blocked his path, meowing insistently. Turns out, it was guarding a package that had been misdelivered. With a smile, the driver said, 'Well, little furry friend, looks like you’re our new Walgreens security officer!'
