About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walgreens were still locked tight, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot. A small, dusty statue of an old man had appeared overnight. Curious, he approached it and saw that the statue was holding a crumpled note saying ‘Open for business.’ The next morning, everyone found Walgreens open earlier than usual—with the old man’s statue smiling warmly from behind the counter. Ever since then, locals joke that Walgreens has the best early-morning customer service around.

2. Late one night, as the Walgreens clerk was locking up for the day, she heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention customers—we’ve run out of everything except Band-Aids and marshmallows.’ Curious, she opened the door a crack and saw a small crowd gathering outside. A delivery driver approached with a worried expression, saying, 'I brought your usual order—but I only had time to grab band-aids and marshmallows!' The clerk laughed, realizing it must have been his late-night snack causing the interruption.

3. Late one morning, while customers were browsing shelves, an elderly gentleman in a plaid shirt began whispering into his reflection in the medicine cabinet mirror. Suddenly, everyone heard him say, ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall… who’s the fairest of them all?’ The whole place erupted in laughter as he looked perplexed and then sheepishly smiled. A young employee leaned over and whispered, ‘It’s just Walgreens, sir.’

4. In the early hours of the morning, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Walgreens. The usual hum of the city had quieted down, but there was a strange, rhythmic tapping sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man, humming softly to himself as he arranged bottles on the shelves. Turns out, it was just a regular night for him—Walgreens never closes, after all. The tapping sound? Just the rhythm of his favorite song playing in his head.
