About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were almost empty and only a lone cashier remained, customers began hearing soft footsteps echoing through the aisles of Walgreens. A regular noticed it first—every time he came for late-night cough medicine. One night, a delivery driver heard the steps too. Thinking it was just his imagination, he ignored them until a neighbor knocked on the door, asking why he’d left his shopping cart in the parking lot. Turns out, the footsteps belonged to an overenthusiastic vacuum cleaner.

2. In the early morning hours, when Walgreens was quiet and dimly lit, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every few days, boxes of aspirin seemed to disappear from the stockroom—yet no one had been in there but him. Curious, he checked the surveillance tape. Turned out, every time someone took the aspirin, it was just an elderly neighbor who lived across the street. She’d pop over each morning with a smile, grab a box, and say, ‘For my arthritis, dear.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking, ‘At least she’s honest!’

3. At dawn, when most pharmacies are just opening their doors, an elderly gentleman would quietly enter Walgreens. He never bought anything, but everyone knew him by sight. One morning, a delivery driver noticed the old man standing near the counter, holding a small bag. Curious, he asked what it was. With a twinkle in his eye, the gentleman replied, 'Just some aspirin for my heart,' and walked out, leaving everyone laughing. It turned out he always carried an empty bag as a joke.'

4. In the wee hours of the morning, when Walgreens was nearly deserted, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the stockroom. As he peered around, he saw a shadowy figure rearranging boxes. Thinking it might be a regular night-time visitor, he approached cautiously. Turns out, it was just an overzealous mouse trying to organize the medicine bottles alphabetically. The delivery driver couldn’t help but laugh and leave him to his work.
