About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he loaded boxes into Walgreens: ‘Why do they always put the toilet paper next to the diapers?’ Just then, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a puzzled look on his face. 'Excuse me,' he said, 'where’s the baby food?' The pharmacist pointed towards the diaper aisle, causing everyone within earshot to burst out laughing. The delivery driver shook his head and muttered, 'I guess some things never change.'

2. At dawn, when most Walgreens were still dimly lit, an early bird customer noticed something peculiar. A cashier’s nametag read ‘Pharmacist Extraordinaire,’ but the store sign said it was closed for renovations. Curious, the customer asked a passing delivery driver if he had seen anyone inside. The driver shrugged and replied, 'Nah, just me and my truck.' As the sun rose higher, neighbors began stopping in, each thinking they were the first brave soul there. By lunchtime, word spread that Walgreens was open for some mysterious reason, and everyone wondered whose prescription was so urgent.

3. In the middle of a quiet afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mother: ‘Mommy, look! That man’s shopping cart has legs!’ The mother looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. ‘Honey,’ she said gently, ‘that’s just Mr. Johnson from next door. He always shops like that.’ The little girl giggled and nodded knowingly, realizing it was simply another Walgreens mystery solved.

4. In the wee hours before sunrise, a night security guard dozed off behind the counter, oblivious to the strange glow coming from the pharmacy shelves. Suddenly, an old bottle of aspirin started softly humming, attracting everyone’s attention. The guard woke up with a start, only to realize it was just the morning alarm clock on his phone playing tricks. Everyone had a good laugh, and the security shift ended without any further incidents—except for one delivery driver who swore he saw a talking pill.
