About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the store was closing, a little boy would run into Walgreens and ask for Band-Aids in every color. The cashier, puzzled but amused, always obliged. One day, a delivery driver noticed that the same box of bandages kept disappearing from the shelf. Finally, one evening after work, an elderly neighbor popped in to buy some cough drops. She overheard the boy asking again for colorful Band-Aids. Smiling, she leaned towards him and whispered, ‘Sonny, I’ve seen you here every night.’ The next morning, the manager found a big bag filled with assorted Band-Aids hidden behind the counter—signed anonymously by ‘A Concerned Regular’.
2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to the back door of Walgreens, he caught an odd whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting through the open window. Curious, he looked inside and saw no oven or baking trays—just the usual shelves and counters. But the scent grew stronger with each passing minute. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked in, sniffed the air, smiled warmly, and said, ‘Ah, finally someone’s making those elusive Walgreen’s cookies I’ve been hearing so much about!’ The delivery driver shook his head, grinned, and thought to himself, ‘Maybe there IS something magical happening here.’
3. Late one morning, an elderly lady approached the counter and asked the pharmacist with a twinkle in her eye: ‘Do you have any special elixir for forgetting where I parked my car?’ The pharmacist smiled knowingly and replied, 'Madam, I’ve just what you need—our memory-enhancing vitamins!' She laughed heartily, shook his hand, and walked out, muttering something about needing them for next week’s grocery list. As she left, everyone behind the counter exchanged knowing glances, silently agreeing that some things are best forgotten until later.
4. Early in the morning, before the sun had fully risen, someone began leaving tiny bouquets of wildflowers outside every Walgreens in town. It turned out that a delivery driver, who was allergic to flowers but loved their scent, decided to leave them anonymously as an apology for sneezing on customers. By dusk, each Walgreens smelled like a spring garden, and everyone laughed it off.
