About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was checking out when he noticed something strange—every time he paid with cash, the exact change always fell one penny short. But here’s the catch: only on Thursdays. Finally, our regular decided to pay in pennies just for Thursday transactions. To everyone’s surprise, not only did his change come up even every time, but also a friendly neighborhood delivery driver started leaving an extra penny as a joke. Now, whenever someone asks why Walgreens seems so generous on Thursdays, they just smile and say, ‘It’s that pesky old guy who loves his pennies!’

2. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that same box of Band-Aids three blocks ago.’ Suddenly, an old lady appeared from behind the counter with a knowing smile. 'Oh dear,' she said, 'we restocked those just ten minutes ago.' The delivery driver scratched his head sheepishly and whispered to himself, 'Guess I’ll never be a ghost hunter.'

3. At dawn, a jogger passing by Walgreens stopped in surprise. The parking lot was filled with boxes of aspirin arranged in perfect rows, as if someone had been organizing them all night. Curious, she bent down and picked up one box. Just then, an elderly delivery driver walked out, muttering under his breath, ‘Finally finished… these kids are always stealing my boxes.’

4. At dusk, a neighbor walking her dog paused mid-street. From inside Walgreens came an eerie humming sound, like a distant party where everyone was dancing to invisible music. Curious, she peered through the glass door and saw nothing unusual—just shelves of medicines and quiet aisles. Then, from behind the counter, emerged a sleepy pharmacist asking if anyone needed anything. Turns out it was just his late-night radio tuned to some strange station.}
