About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were almost empty and only a few customers lingered, an old man began whispering into the microphone on Walgreens’ intercom. ‘Attention, everyone,’ he said in a voice that carried through the entire store. ‘We’ve run out of everything good.’ Suddenly, a delivery driver appeared from behind the counter with a big smile. 'Hey, don’t worry!' he announced over the intercom. 'I just brought in some amazing new stock—including a limited-edition flavor of Band-Aids!' The old man chuckled softly and faded away into the shadows, leaving everyone laughing.

2. At closing time, when the last cash register clicked off, an elderly gentleman approached the counter. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, pointing to the closed door. ‘Is it true that after hours, Walgreens turns into a secret candy store for employees?’ The pharmacist smiled and shook his head. 'Not exactly,' he replied with a twinkle in his eye. 'But once or twice a week, we do hold an unofficial "candy lottery" for loyal customers. It's just a little something to keep everyone happy!'

3. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Walgreens parking lot. Among the usual boxes and bags, there lay a small, wrapped package with no label or sender's name. Curious, he picked it up and saw that it was a bag of freshly baked cookies—with a note reading ‘Thanks for your hard work!’ Turns out, a neighbor had mistakenly left them behind during their morning rush. The delivery driver smiled, popped one cookie into his mouth, and thought, ‘Not a bad way to start the day.’

4. At closing time, when the last cash register clicked off, a delivery driver noticed that one of the medicine bottles had started whispering its ingredients. Curious but not alarmed, he leaned closer and heard it say, ‘Aspirin… Tylenol… Oh, and don’t forget your vitamins!’ The bottle then giggled softly, causing everyone in the parking lot to laugh along. From that day on, Walgreens became known as the place where medicines chatted you up before checkout.
