About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm February morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist noticed something peculiar: the box seemed to be glowing faintly. The pharmacist peered inside curiously but saw only a note that read ‘try putting it in the freezer.’ Confused, they placed the box in the fridge, and soon enough, the entire store was filled with the smell of freshly baked cookies. It turned out to be a batch of homemade goodies from a neighbor who had accidentally labeled them as medication.

2. A neighborhood kid was hurrying home one rainy afternoon with a bag of groceries. As he neared Walgreens, he noticed something strange—an old man kept appearing and disappearing between the shelves. Finally, the boy asked an employee what was going on. The worker laughed and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Johnson—he likes to hide behind the shelves to scare customers.’ The kid looked around nervously but couldn’t help smiling. That evening, as he told his family the story over dinner, everyone burst out laughing.

3. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside Walgreens: a stack of old newspapers seemed to grow taller every morning. Curious, he approached and saw nothing but an empty spot where papers used to be. Then, from around the corner came an elderly gentleman carrying more newspapers under his arm. ‘Morning, son,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Just restocking my little newspaper library for old times’ sake.’ The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and drove off, wondering if maybe everyone in town had their own secret Walgreens habit.

4. At dusk, when Walgreens usually closes its doors for the day, a delivery driver noticed a small dog frantically circling around the parking lot. The animal kept stopping near an old mail slot, sniffing and whimpering. Curious, the driver approached the slot and found a note inside: ‘Please help my puppy find home!’ Below was a phone number scribbled in shaky handwriting. With a smile, the driver called the number, and soon enough, a neighbor came running, relieved tears in her eyes. Turns out, it wasn’t just any dog—it belonged to a local vet’s daughter who had accidentally locked herself out.
