About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens, a regular customer noticed something odd one morning. As he waited in line, he overheard an argument between two employees near the pharmacy counter. ‘Why did you put that display there?’ asked one. The other replied, ‘It’s supposed to be a surprise.’ Curious, our regular watched as a delivery driver arrived later with boxes marked ‘Top Secret’. Employees rushed to rearrange shelves and covers were hastily placed over displays. Finally, after much fuss, the pharmacist announced, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, today we’re introducing… new tissue boxes!’ Everyone laughed, including the embarrassed employees who realized their secret was no surprise at all.

2. At Walgreens, an unusual announcement came over the PA one afternoon. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ said the voice, ‘we apologize for any inconvenience, but our supply of Band-Aids has been mysteriously replaced with glow-in-the-dark stars.’ A few minutes later, a delivery driver walked in, scratching his head. ‘I brought the right boxes,’ he insisted. A nearby customer piped up, ‘Maybe they’re not supposed to heal wounds—maybe they’re meant to light up your night!’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, everyone had their own glow-in-the-dark star collection.

3. At Walgreens, a delivery driver kept finding himself standing in front of the same shelf every day after dropping off packages. Finally, one day he asked an employee why he always ended up there. With a smile, she pointed out that it was the candy aisle—where everyone seemed to stop for a treat before leaving.

4. At Walgreens, a neighbor passing by heard a strange humming sound coming from inside late one night. Curious, they peered through the window and saw an old man in a lab coat dancing around with a bottle of aspirin, singing off-key. Turns out he was just celebrating his retirement. The next morning, everything was back to normal—except for a new sign outside: ‘Walgreens: Where Medicine Meets Music!’
