About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular patient waited for his prescription, he heard an unusual voice from behind the counter: ‘Next time you see a unicorn in your medicine aisle, don’t panic.’ The pharmacist smiled and added, ‘That’s because they’re just our newest stock of vitamin C.’ The man left, shaking his head but with a warm smile, wondering if maybe Walgreens was hiding more than just medicines these days.

2. One morning, while waiting for her usual medication, an elderly lady overheard the pharmacist say to a delivery driver, ‘This insulin looks like it’s been here since last week.’ The old lady quickly whispered to her friend next to her, ‘I think I’ll switch pharmacies!’ The pharmacist, hearing this, called out, ‘Ma’am, that insulin was actually discontinued last month.’ Everyone burst into laughter, and from then on, they all joked that Walgreens had the longest pharmacy fridge in town.

3. While picking up her weekly vitamins, an enthusiastic runner exclaimed, ‘I bet I could run faster than your scanner!’ The next thing she knew, every item on the conveyor belt started moving at breakneck speed. As she tried to keep up, a delivery driver shouted, ‘You’re breaking our record today!’ Soon, everyone in line was laughing, and even the pharmacist joined in with a smile. By the time they stopped, the woman had her vitamins—and a newfound appreciation for Walgreens’ super-speedy service.

4. At dawn, when most Walgreens are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the shelves were rearranged in alphabetical order—even the candy aisle. Curious, he peeked around corners but saw no one. The next morning, everything was back to normal. Months later, an elderly neighbor mentioned that her granddaughter worked nights there and liked keeping things organized. It turned out to be just another quirky Walgreens story.
