About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does that same old delivery truck pull up here every day at exactly 3 AM?’ The pharmacist smiled and whispered back, ‘That’s our secret weapon against early-morning insomnia.’ The next day, the truck arrived again at precisely 3 AM, and everyone in town knew Walgreens had just earned itself another loyal customer—even if they never slept.

2. A neighborhood kid was rollerblading past Walgreens one afternoon when he noticed something odd. Every time he passed, the same elderly gentleman would emerge from the store and carefully rearrange the potted plants outside. Finally, one day the boy asked him, ‘Sir, why do you keep rearranging these plants?’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘They’re not in their proper place according to my sense of aesthetics.’ Turns out, the plants were arranged alphabetically by species—a secret only known to our friendly neighborhood plant aficionado.

3. A neighborhood dog started visiting Walgreens every day after noticing something peculiar in the parking lot. One day, a delivery driver noticed the dog had brought an old shoe into the store. Curious, he asked the pharmacist what it was for. The pharmacist smiled and said, ‘It’s our new natural remedy for restless paws.’ The neighborhood never doubted Walgreens again—until they saw the sign outside reading: “Shoe Therapy: Now Open!”

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building. He opened the door cautiously, curious but not alarmed. Inside, he saw only shadows dancing on the walls—until a voice called out, ‘Hey, can you help me with these prescriptions?’ Turns out, it was just an overactive air-conditioning unit and a sleep-deprived pharmacist. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering something about ghostly Walgreens.
