About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something odd in the pharmacy aisle—a box of band-aids labeled ‘Super Strength’ but with no visible wounds depicted on the package. Curiosity piqued, he picked one up and found it stuck to nothing but air. As he stared, another customer, a delivery driver, asked if everything was okay. With a straight face, our hero replied, 'Just checking out these Super Strength Band-Aids—can’t imagine why anyone would need them!' The driver laughed so hard he nearly dropped his coffee, realizing they were indeed stuck to thin air.

2. At closing time one night, an exhausted delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why do I always get stuck with the last Walgreens on my route?’ Little did he know that from then on, every time someone mentioned his name, the store’s ceiling tiles would gently sway like they were listening. A few weeks later, a regular customer asked the pharmacist if she’d noticed anything unusual happening in the store lately. The pharmacist smiled and said, ‘Only when people mention your name, our ceiling tiles start dancing!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another quirky Walgreens tale.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and heard a strange humming noise coming from inside. He shrugged it off as nothing unusual until he saw the neon sign flickering ominously. Curious, he peered through the window and noticed an old man in a white lab coat dancing around with a bottle of aspirin. ‘What are you doing?’ asked the driver. The man grinned, ‘Just keeping things lively here!’ Turning back to his dance, he added, “You should try it sometime—it helps pass the night shifts!”

4. Late one night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Walgreens and stretched, noticing a shadowy figure darting between shelves. Curious, he followed the silhouette into the backroom, where an old man in a lab coat was rummaging through medicine cabinets. ‘Looking for something specific?’ asked the delivery guy. The man turned around with a smile, revealing a bottle of aspirin and a bag of chips. ‘Just needed some pain relief and late-night snack,’ he said, nodding towards the door. The delivery driver shook his head, laughing softly as he left—another Walgreens tale, told only among neighbors.
