About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does that old lady always buy two boxes of Band-Aids and a bag of marshmallows?’ The pharmacist smiled knowingly. ‘She’s making s’mores for her grandkids,’ he said. The regular nodded, grinning. From then on, whenever someone asked why she bought those unusual items together, they’d just shrug and say, “Must be some secret family recipe.”

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens one afternoon with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist whispered to an assistant, 'I wonder what unusual item will make our customers laugh today?' The assistant opened the box and pulled out a giant inflatable unicorn. The whole place erupted in laughter as customers snapped photos. That evening, a regular walked in and joked, ‘Hey, did you guys get another funny package?’ The pharmacist grinned and replied, ‘Not yet, but stay tuned!’

3. A little boy dragged his mom into Walgreens one day, pointing excitedly at the shelves. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why do they sell so many different kinds of ice cream in winter?’ The mother smiled and gently explained, ‘Honey, it’s because not everyone likes the same kind of ice cream year-round.’ The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked up with a twinkle in his eye and asked, ‘So why don’t they just make one flavor that everyone loves?’

4. A neighborhood cat had taken to sleeping on the Walgreens counter every morning, much to the amusement of customers. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box full of lollipops. Thinking it was for him, he opened the door and accidentally dropped them all over the floor. The cat pounced on the candy like a pro, leaving the driver red-faced but laughing. Soon after, the store manager decided that maybe cats were good luck—and started keeping a bowl of treats out front just for her.
