About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walgreens are still quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: a small, furry creature scurrying between shelves in the backroom. Curious, he followed it and found a tiny hamster, lost from a nearby pet store. The little guy had clearly made himself at home, nibbling on some leftover candy and playing with an empty pill bottle. With a smile, the delivery driver took the hamster outside, where his neighbor was already searching for her escaped pet. 'Thanks for finding him,' she said, patting him affectionately. ‘He’s been missing since last night.’

2. Late one night, while stocking shelves in the backroom, an employee heard a strange humming noise coming from the freezer section. Curious, she followed the sound and found an ice cream truck parked outside, its engine still running. Turns out, it was a delivery driver who’d accidentally left his vehicle on. The next morning, everyone had a new joke: ‘Who’s always cold in Walgreens?’ ‘The frozen yogurt!’

3. Late one morning, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into the back room of Walgreens, he caught a whiff of something unusual—a faint scent of fresh-baked cookies mingled with disinfectant. Curious, he followed his nose through the store and found an elderly lady in the baking aisle, humming softly to herself while arranging packages of cookies on the shelf. ‘I must be going crazy,’ he thought, but then she smiled warmly and said, “They’re for my granddaughter’s birthday tomorrow.” He left, shaking his head and smiling, realizing that sometimes even big pharmacies smell like home.’

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the cash registers were silent, a clerk overheard an odd conversation between two bottles on the shelf. One bottle said to another, ‘Did you hear that new pain reliever they’re bringing tomorrow? It’s supposed to make you feel like dancing!’ The other replied, “Oh no, I hope not—my label says I’m for sleeping pills.” They both laughed softly until a sleepy voice from behind them whispered, “Next time, could you keep it down? I’m trying to get some rest here.” The end.
