About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves in the early hours, a Walgreens employee found an old, dusty box hidden behind some boxes of Band-Aids. Curious, she opened it and discovered a collection of vintage postcards from around the world. Word spread quickly among customers, who began leaving their own treasured finds—an antique button here, a forgotten photo there. Soon, every aisle became a miniature museum, with locals stopping by not just for medicine but also for a chance encounter with history. Finally, one day a delivery driver left behind an ancient package containing nothing but a note reading, ‘Hope you enjoy my secret stash!’ The whole store erupted into laughter when they realized it was just expired samples of sunscreen. But that only added to its charm—a quirky little Walgreens where history mingled with humor.

2. One day, as a delivery driver was unloading boxes into the back room of Walgreens, he noticed something odd: every fifth box seemed to contain a tiny packet of candy instead of medicine. Confused and curious, he opened one packet—only to find it filled with gummy bears! Word spread quickly among employees, who started joking that the supplier must be their secret admirer. Soon enough, customers joined in the fun, asking for ‘the magical fifth package.’ And so, Walgreens became known not just for its medicines but also for its occasional surprise treat.

3. One afternoon, while restocking shelves, a Walgreens worker noticed something unusual: a small dog kept sniffing and licking the floor near the aspirin aisle. Curious, she followed its trail until it led her behind the counter—where she found an entire family of tiny ants marching across the floor, leaving a trail of sugar behind them. The dog was just trying to help clean up the sweet mess!

4. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock, only to be greeted by a strange humming noise coming from inside the pharmacy. Curious, he cracked open the door—and found an old man counting jars of aspirin with a flashlight. ‘Looking for something?’ asked the pharmacist’s ghostly voice. The delivery driver jumped back, then relaxed when the man said, “Just checking inventory.” They both laughed, and now, some say, you can hear them chatting late nights in Walgreens’ empty aisles.
