About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver was dropping off boxes when he noticed something odd. The shelves seemed to rearrange themselves just as he left each aisle. Curious, he circled back later that day and watched from afar—sure enough, every time he drove away, the shelves shifted slightly. It turned out that an elderly pharmacist, known for his love of puzzles, had been subtly reorganizing them during slow hours. A neighborhood joke soon spread: ‘Walgreens is self-checkout—but only if you know the secret code!’

2. At night, an anonymous note appeared on the door of Walgreens: ‘Open at midnight for emergency haircuts.’ The next morning, customers lined up outside. Soon enough, a regular showed up with scissors and a comb. People laughed as he clipped away, but everyone left satisfied—even those who just needed aspirin. Word spread fast, and from then on, Walgreens became known not only for its drugs but also for its late-night haircuts.

3. Late one afternoon, while stocking shelves, a young pharmacist heard a faint humming sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, she peered around and saw nothing but empty shelves—until she looked up into the ceiling lights, which seemed to pulse in time with the melody. As she followed the rhythm, an elderly delivery driver whistled along, unaware of his audience. Turns out, he’d been practicing for a local talent show. The next day, everyone in town knew Walgreens was hosting ‘The Medicine Man’s Melody Hour.’

4. Late one evening, a delivery driver was unloading crates when he saw a shadowy figure slipping inside the store. Curious, he followed it in and found only an old man restocking shelves with a mischievous smile. Turns out, it was just ‘a regular’ helping out after hours. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing that Walgreens never sleeps—even on Halloween.
