About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist noticed something unusual—an old-fashioned key attached to the box. The pharmacist took out the key and said, ‘I’ve never seen this before.’ Just then, an elderly lady walked in and asked for her usual medication. The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘It looks like today’s your lucky day—they even left you a key!’
2. A customer complained loudly one day: ‘Why is it every time I come here for antacids, they’re out of stock?!’ The pharmacist just smiled and replied, ‘Ma’am, that’s because everyone who buys them seems to be… never coming back.’ Then a delivery driver walked in, muttering under his breath, ‘I’ve got half a dozen bottles right here in my truck.’ The pharmacist winked and said, ‘Perfect timing, then—looks like someone finally decided to stay!’
3. In the late afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered Walgreens to pick up his usual prescriptions. Among the bottles on the counter lay a small, colorful toy—a tiny plastic dinosaur. No one claimed ownership, and soon customers began noticing it during their visits. Soon enough, people started leaving little toys in exchange for the dinosaur—an orange teddy bear here, a green rubber frog there. The pharmacist joked that maybe Santa had been delivering gifts through the mail slot. One day, a delivery driver left behind a miniature cowbell, which rang every time someone opened the door. By closing time, everyone was laughing as they walked out with their medicines—and a new friend.
4. One night, a sleepy pharmacist heard a voice from behind the counter. ‘Excuse me,’ said no one, ‘but why do you keep selling sunscreen for dogs?’ Curious, he turned around and saw nobody there. Suddenly, an old delivery driver popped his head in through the door. ‘Ah, that’s easy!’ he grinned. ‘It’s because humans always forget their own sunscreen, but Fido never does.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another Walgreens tale—until the next morning when they found a new sign: “Dog Sunscreen: Because Your Pup Deserves Protection Too!”
