About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens, a regular customer once complained, ‘Why do you always run out of Band-Aids just when I need them most?’ Since then, employees joke that the store has a secret stash hidden somewhere. One day, a delivery driver asked an employee, ‘Do you really have a secret Band-Aid cache?’ The worker winked and replied, ‘Of course not—we just know where to hide our sense of humor!’

2. At night, when employees were locking up, they heard a tiny voice calling from inside. Curious, they looked around and found a small kitten hiding behind shelves, its big eyes reflecting the neon lights. One of the workers, a friendly old lady named Mrs. Jenkins, took pity on the little one and brought it home. The next morning, everyone was surprised to see the kitten sitting on the counter, staring intently at the cash register. Turned out, it had a thing for chocolate-covered mints—a regular’s special order. Since then, whenever someone orders those treats, the kitten appears like clockwork.

3. At Walgreens, a delivery driver once asked, ‘Why does every box I bring here end up mysteriously lighter than it should be?’ It turned out that an enthusiastic employee had been sneaking samples from each package and enjoying them before restocking. When confronted, he sheepishly admitted, ‘I just can’t resist these delicious candies!’

4. At Walgreens, a delivery driver once asked, ‘Why does every box I bring here smell like cookies?’ It turned out that an enthusiastic baker-neighbor had been secretly baking batches of fresh cookies and leaving them in the store’s supply room. The delivery driver never knew whether to be amused or alarmed when his packages suddenly started smelling so sweet.
