About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the Walgreens shopping cart area—a small box wrapped in brown paper, left unattended. Curious but cautious, he picked it up and took it inside. Upon opening the package, he found a note that read: 'Free candy for good customers!' Inside were several colorful lollipops. Turns out, a friendly delivery driver had been leaving these little treats around for loyal patrons. The regular smiled, thinking, ‘Now that's what I call excellent customer service!’

2. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and called out: ‘Hey, anyone seen my package? It’s got a big red bow!’ The clerk looked puzzled until he realized—there was no package, just a box of candy canes. The clerk smiled and said, 'Oh, those are for Christmas, aren't they?' The delivery driver nodded sheepishly, realizing his mistake. From then on, whenever someone brought in candy canes, everyone at Walgreens would joke that it must be their lost package with a big red bow.

3. One day, a little girl pointed excitedly at the shelves of band-aids, whispering to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! These bandaids are smiling!’ The mother smiled and gently explained, 'No, honey, they’re not really smiling—just different shapes.' The little girl thought for a moment then declared, 'But Mommy, I like them better when they smile!' From that day on, whenever anyone asked for band-aids at Walgreens, the staff made sure to choose ones with big, happy faces.

4. In an ordinary Walgreens pharmacy, late one evening, a customer glanced down an aisle and saw something odd—a cat calmly walking among the bottles of medicine. Curious, the customer followed the feline until it stopped near the aspirin section. The cat turned around, blinked twice, then jumped onto a shelf, knocking over a box of Band-Aids. A nearby employee laughed and said, ‘Must be our new mascot!’ And so, for the next few days, customers would visit Walgreens not just for prescriptions but also to see if they could catch another glimpse of the friendly neighborhood pharmacist’s cat.
