About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an early riser was stocking up on coffee and vitamins when he noticed something strange. A delivery driver kept glancing nervously over his shoulder as he loaded boxes into the back of his truck. Curious, our regular followed the truck down the street until it stopped in front of a small house. The driver quickly unloaded some packages and whispered hello to a neighbor before hurrying off. Turns out, Walgreens had been delivering groceries to elderly residents for years—no wonder the driver looked so nervous!

2. A delivery driver was dropping off supplies one afternoon when he noticed something peculiar. As he approached the counter, he overheard two employees discussing whether they should rename the store’s ‘energy drink’ section 'Wake Up Walgreens'. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked for some aspirin. The delivery driver couldn’t help but laugh as one employee quipped, ‘Sir, would you like your usual Wake Up Walgreens?’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the old man who replied, ‘I’ll take two of those!’

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a truckload of goods. As he approached the counter, the store’s PA announced: ‘Attention, all employees—please report to the back room immediately.’ The driver raised an eyebrow but did nothing until another announcement followed: ‘And bring your lunchboxes!’ The delivery driver shrugged and went to the back room, where everyone was already eating sandwiches from their lunchboxes. Turns out, it was just Thursday afternoon pizza day—a tradition started by the pharmacist who loved feeding his staff good food. The driver smiled, thinking, ‘Now that’s customer service!’

4. A delivery driver was unloading boxes of aspirin one night when he heard a strange noise from inside the pharmacy. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old teddy bear sitting on the counter, waving its little arms and humming ‘Happy Birthday.’ Turns out, it was just the pharmacist’s way of saying thanks for delivering on time. A regular sight now, but still makes the delivery guy smile every evening.
