Walgreens

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walgreens were still locked tight, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a small bird had built its nest inside the medicine cabinet of the store’s staff bathroom. Curious, he knocked gently on the door and called out, ‘Anybody home?’ A soft chirp answered him. The next morning, the whole neighborhood gathered to watch as the little bird family moved into a cozy nest outside the pharmacy, leaving behind only a few colorful pills for decoration.

2. At midnight, when most pharmacies were already asleep, an old lady started visiting Walgreens every Tuesday and Thursday. She’d buy one aspirin, chat briefly with the cashier, then leave without saying goodbye. One night, a delivery driver noticed her entering late at night and decided to follow discreetly. Turns out, she was just picking up her weekly supply of cookies from the bakery section—she always paid for them in cashiers’ tips! The store staff now greets her warmly on Thursdays and Tuesdays.

3. At closing time, when Walgreens employees were already packing up for the night, someone whispered into the empty aisles: ‘Last chance to pick up that special ingredient.’ A delivery driver overheard it and thought nothing of it—until he found himself mixing a mysterious powder into his coffee every morning. The next day, an entire city block lined up outside Walgreens before dawn, each clutching their own secret ingredients.

4. On stormy nights, when lightning illuminated the streets outside, a young pharmacist working late noticed strange footprints leading from the parking lot into the pharmacy's back hallway. Curious, he followed them and found only his own reflection in a dusty mirror. Turning around, he realized that the prints were made by his own shoes, left there after cleaning up spilled medicine earlier that night. Since then, whenever someone sees those mysterious footsteps, they just smile and say, ‘Must be Walgreens’ employee pranks again.’
