About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were gathering their prescriptions, an announcement crackled over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention please—your medication may be more effective if taken with a smile.’ Ever since then, no one leaves Walgreens without breaking into a grin. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter, clearly distressed. The pharmacist asked him what was wrong, and he replied, 'I can’t seem to find my happy pill!' A delivery driver chimed in, 'Maybe you left it at home—try taking two smiles instead.' Everyone burst out laughing, including the poor man who finally realized his sense of humor had been misplaced.
2. While waiting for her medication one afternoon, Sarah overheard a regular muttering under his breath, ‘I’ve been coming here for years, and today they finally got my name right.’ Finally, Sarah couldn’t help but smile. She turned around and saw an elderly gentleman with a crooked smile and a bag full of prescriptions. ‘That’s funny,’ she thought, ‘maybe Walgreens really is getting better at remembering names after all.’
3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens with a crate full of supplies. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd—an old, dusty teddy bear nestled among the medical equipment. Curious, he picked it up and saw a tiny note sewn inside: ‘To the kind soul who helps us every day.’ Turns out, it was an employee’s lost toy from childhood. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how Walgreens must really be like home for someone.
4. While waiting for her usual headache medicine, a regular exclaimed loudly, ‘I bet they run out of Advil just when I decide to stay healthy!’ Just then, an impatient delivery driver yelled from outside, ‘Hey, Walgreens, can you hurry up? My lunch break is almost over!’ The pharmacist smiled and whispered to the regular, ‘Looks like someone forgot to bring their patience pill today.’
