About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walgreens are still quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: a small dog darting in and out of the pill dispensers. Curious but cautious, he followed its little paws until it scurried into an empty aisle. Just as he was about to call for help, the doggy emerged from behind a shelf, wagging happily with a plastic bottle cap between its teeth. A regular customer later found it sitting outside with a note: ‘Found your pet pharmacist!’

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into the backroom, he heard an odd noise coming from the stockroom. Curious but cautious, he peeked inside and saw a shadowy figure rearranging shelves with meticulous care. The delivery driver watched in amazement for a moment before clearing his throat. The figure turned around, revealing itself to be an elderly gentleman wearing a Walgreens uniform. ‘Just helping out,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. ‘We close early on Wednesdays.’

3. In the early hours of morning, a sleep-deprived delivery driver dozed off behind the wheel outside the Walgreens. ‘Why did I park here?’ he muttered, waking up to discover he’d pulled right in front of the pharmacy’s own sign. Embarrassed and groggy, he sheepishly walked into the pharmacy, only to see his neighbor standing at the counter. 'Morning, Mr. Sleepyhead!' she teased. 'Did you forget which side of town you're delivering to?'

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens. As he approached the store, he spotted an unusual sight—a shopping cart filled with nothing but packets of breath mints. Curious, he opened one packet and found it was full—completely stuffed with tiny little candies. He chuckled, shook his head, and went inside to ask what on earth was going on. Turned out, a regular customer had decided to pay off all those late-night cravings for fresh minty air by filling carts with nothing but breath mints. It became something of a local legend—the ‘Mint Man’ who kept Walgreens stocked and neighbors smiling.
