About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, an elderly gentleman asked the pharmacist, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the aisles after hours?’ The pharmacist laughed it off, but soon enough, customers began noticing strange shadows darting between shelves. Finally, one evening a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe they’re just Walgreens’ secret shoppers!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and from then on, whenever anyone saw a shadowy figure, they’d whisper, ‘It’s probably just our friendly ghost stockboy.’

2. A delivery driver once asked the Walgreens clerk, 'Why does everyone always seem so rushed when they come here?' The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Because, sir, in our busy little town, life is like a prescription—we’re all waiting for it to be filled quickly.’ The delivery driver nodded, chuckled, and drove off, thinking he’d found the perfect excuse for his own tardiness.

3. In a quiet corner of Walgreens, a regular noticed something unusual in the shopping cart return area—a small, neatly wrapped package labeled simply as ‘Free Samples.’ Curiosity piqued him enough to open it. Inside was a single chocolate bar with a note reading, ‘Our way of saying thanks for being our secret shopper!’ The man grinned and popped the candy into his mouth, only to be joined moments later by an embarrassed-looking delivery driver who’d been watching from behind the counter.

4. In a small town in the Midwest, every morning around sunrise, a neighborhood dog would race into the Walgreens parking lot and bark furiously at an empty spot on the shelf inside. Employees shrugged it off as just another quirky canine habit until one day, a customer dared to ask the manager if they were running out of dog treats. The manager smiled and shook his head, replying, ‘No, sir, we’re not low on treats—this is just our feisty friend’s daily routine.’ A few days later, a delivery driver noticed something even stranger: the dog was now barking at a package of aspirin. Turns out he wasn’t after snacks—he was trying to help us restock!
