About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that same box of Band-Aids on the shelf last week.’ Suddenly, an old lady walked in and asked for band-aids too. The delivery guy whispered again, ‘Now there’s two!’ Just then, the pharmacist called out, ‘Sir, do you work here?’ Everyone burst into laughter when he sheepishly admitted, ‘No, but I deliver stuff around here.’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver approached the Walgreens drive-thru and asked with a puzzled look, ‘Why does it say “Open 24 Hours” when I see a sign that reads “Closed for Maintenance”?’ The night manager, a gruff but friendly old fellow, replied with a twinkle in his eye, 'Well, sonny, that's our little secret. We keep a hidden key somewhere around here.' The delivery guy scratched his head and laughed, realizing he was part of an elaborate prank played on him every time he drove by. As he left, he waved goodbye to the neighbors who were watching from their porch, knowing full well they’d done it again.

3. At dawn, when most pharmacies were still locked tight, an old man started visiting Walgreens every morning. He’d enter, ask for aspirin, pay promptly, then leave without saying a word. One day, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, why do you always buy just one aspirin?’ The old man nodded wisely and replied, ‘Son, I’m not buying it—I'm renting it.’ Everyone laughed, including the old man who left with his single aspirin, never uttering another word.

4. At dusk, a little girl pointed excitedly at Walgreens, whispering to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! It’s talking!’ Suddenly, an old lady in line laughed and said, 'Honey, it's just that big sign flashing “Open” every time the door opens!' The little girl giggled, realizing her mistake, while everyone around them smiled warmly.
