About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while checking out, an elderly lady asked the cashier, ‘Why does every fifth customer here suddenly start humming “Happy Birthday”?’ The cashier smiled and replied, 'Ma’am, that’s because our pharmacist has a secret love for practical jokes. He plays that song whenever he wants to cheer up someone having a bad day.' The old lady nodded knowingly and said, 'Well, it certainly works on me!'

2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the store’s intercom: ‘Attention Walgreens employees—please don’t forget to take your umbrellas home.’ The next morning, everyone in the pharmacy was laughing when they found out that no one had taken any umbrellas home. It turned out to be an automated weather alert meant for another nearby store. Since then, whenever it rains heavily, people joke about seeing employees rushing around with their newly acquired umbrella collections.

3. At midnight, a delivery driver parked outside Walgreens and wondered aloud: "Do they really close their doors for just one minute between customers?" Suddenly, an old lady appeared from behind the counter with a twinkle in her eye. ‘Only once every hundred years,’ she whispered, ‘to check if our shelves are still stocked with magic.’ The delivery driver burst out laughing, realizing it was just another Walgreens urban legend.

4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens to drop off supplies. As he walked past the parking lot, he spotted something peculiar—a shopping cart filled with nothing but packets of breath mints. Curious, he opened one packet and found it was full—of tiny, colorful candies instead! Turned out, someone had accidentally loaded the wrong boxes into the cart. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was just another quirky moment in his job. From then on, whenever anyone saw that strange cart, they’d smile and say, ‘Oh, that’s just Walgreens’ secret stash.’
