About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the back room of Walgreens, he heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Please return your flying purple hat to Customer Service.’ Curious, the driver found no flying hats but did spot an elderly gentleman with a crooked smile and a faded purple beret. Turns out, the old man had lost his favorite headwear years ago during a visit here. The driver helped him claim his treasure, and from then on, whenever someone asked for a ‘flying purple hat,’ everyone at Walgreens knew it was just their friendly neighborhood customer having some fun.

2. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver was restocking shelves when he heard an odd announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention all customers and employees—please be advised that our new line of energy drinks now contains actual caffeine!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously, wondering if anyone else had heard it. Suddenly, a voice from behind said, 'Hey, I think I heard that too!' Turning, he saw an old lady smiling warmly while checking her prescription. She winked and added, 'Guess we'll just have to try them out ourselves.' And so, late into the night, Walgreens became the unofficial headquarters for testing the latest energy drink craze.

3. In the early morning hours, a young child woke up and crept towards the Walgreens across the street. The store's neon sign cast eerie shadows on the wall, making it seem like something out of a fairy tale. As the kid approached the glass door, they noticed a shadowy figure moving behind the counter—was it just their imagination or had the pharmacist really transformed into a giant pill? Just then, an old delivery driver stumbled in, mumbling about lost packages. He reached into his bag and pulled out a box labeled ‘Sleep Aid,’ which accidentally opened mid-air, sending dozens of tiny pills scattering everywhere. Everyone stared wide-eyed as the little boy giggled and ran over to help collect them, realizing it was just another ordinary night at Walgreens after all.

4. At closing time, as the last customer left Walgreens, an old man approached the counter with a curious question: ‘Do you sell magic potions here?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'We only sell medicine for your health.' The old man nodded thoughtfully, then asked if they had any aspirin. As he walked away whistling, the pharmacist turned to his colleague and muttered, 'Guess that means we're out of magic potions today!'
