About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store closed and the lights went off, an old man started visiting Walgreens. Every week, he would appear from nowhere, push a shopping cart filled with empty boxes, and whisper something into the air. The cashiers never saw him during business hours, but their dogs always barked frantically whenever he approached. One day, a delivery driver noticed that the old man was pushing his cart right towards the backroom. Curious, she followed him inside—and found nothing but rows of neatly organized shelves. As she turned around, he smiled warmly and said, 'Just making sure everything’s in order before closing.' Then he disappeared as quickly as he came.

2. At closing time one day, a Walgreens employee overheard someone muttering, ‘I’ll be back tomorrow… same time.’ The next morning, no one could remember who said it. Soon enough, everyone in the store started hearing whispers of ‘same time’ every night before closing. Then one evening, an old lady whispered back, ‘Why, I’ll be here!’ Turns out, she was just reminding herself to come back for her Sudoku booklet.

3. At dusk, while stocking shelves in the late hours, a delivery driver swore he heard soft footsteps padding through the empty aisles of Walgreens. Curious but cautious, he peered around corners only to find nothing but shadows. Suddenly, from behind the counter came a quiet voice: ‘Excuse me, do you have any Band-Aids?’ Turned out it was just an elderly gentleman who’d forgotten his keys and had been waiting for someone to notice him. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing that sometimes even Walgreens can be like a small town after all.

4. In the early morning, before the sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. While unloading boxes into the backroom, he kept hearing soft footsteps echoing through the empty aisles. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old cat meowing around the shelves. Turns out, it was a neighborhood stray that had taken refuge there. The next day, everyone in the town saw a delivery driver walking down the street with a sleepy feline companion, both sporting big smiles. "A new Walgreens mascot," someone quipped.
