About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman would saunter into Walgreens with a small bag of groceries. The cashier noticed he always paid in exact change, but never saw him leave empty-handed. One day, as the cashier was ringing up his purchase, she asked him if he needed anything else. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Just one thing—could you please wrap these groceries in brown paper? It’s for my secret midnight picnic.' The cashier smiled and obliged, thinking nothing of it until she overheard him whispering to a delivery driver outside, ‘And don’t forget to bring some extra milk!’

2. At closing time, a young delivery driver walked into Walgreens and asked the cashier, ‘Excuse me, do you sell glow-in-the-dark band-aids?’ The cashier looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. 'No, we don't,' she said, wiping away tears. 'But I bet your friend would look funny trying to explain why he needed them!' The delivery driver sheepishly smiled and left, never mentioning glow-in-the-dark band-aids again.

3. Late one autumn afternoon, a neighborhood kid rushed into Walgreens, clutching a tiny package wrapped in brown paper. ‘Excuse me,’ he whispered urgently, ‘can you please check if this is real?’ The pharmacist carefully unwrapped it and peered inside. 'Why yes,' she said with a smile, 'it's genuine Halloween candy!' The boy beamed, relieved, as his neighbors chuckled behind him. 'Guess I better get home before Mom wonders where I've been.'

4. Late one foggy morning, a sleepy pharmacist opened Walgreens’ doors to find a customer standing in line holding a strange box. ‘I need you to check something,’ whispered the stranger, glancing nervously around. Curiously, the pharmacist took the box and peered inside—it was filled with tiny packets of sugar. The customer grinned sheepishly. ‘Forgot my lunchbox at home,’ he explained. ‘Thanks for your help!’
