About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In a small town in the Midwest, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the usual bottles and boxes on the Walgreens loading dock lay an old, dusty harmonica. No one claimed it, and no one seemed to miss it. Over time, the harmonica became a local legend—everyone in town knew about it, but nobody could figure out its story. Finally, one day, an elderly gentleman walked into Walgreens with a brand-new harmonica and said to the manager, ‘I found this just like yours, only working.’

2. At closing time, an elderly gentleman approached the Walgreens counter and asked, ‘Do you sell aspirin here?’ The pharmacist nodded. ‘And do you have any for sale that’s good for forgetting where I parked my car?’ The pharmacist smiled knowingly and replied, 'We have just what you're looking for!' He reached under the counter and pulled out a small bottle labeled 'Memory Forgettable.' The old man laughed heartily and said, 'Perfect! Just one, please,' before turning around and wandering off into the night.

3. At midnight, a voice crackled over Walgreens’ intercom: ‘If you see a unicorn in our parking lot, do not panic—we’ve had reports.’ A few minutes later, an old lady appeared, holding a tiny plastic horn. She smiled and said, 'I saw it too!' The next morning, no one mentioned the unicorn again—until another late-night announcement: 'And if you spot Santa delivering presents from our roof, just know he’s Walgreens’ special delivery driver.'

4. In the early morning hours, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps approaching the loading dock. Curious, he peered out and saw a shadowy figure carrying a large bag of groceries. As the driver approached, the figure turned around—it was just an elderly neighbor, returning her own groceries she must’ve accidentally left behind. They both laughed, and from that day on, Walgreens became known as the place where even groceries found their way home.
