About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In a small town in the Midwest, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. While waiting for his prescription, he glanced down an aisle and saw a dusty old box labeled ‘Free Samples’—but no samples inside. Curious, he opened it, only to find a single, perfectly wrapped chocolate bar. Smiling, he took a bite—and found himself transported back to childhood memories of Grandma’s kitchen. The next day, more chocolates appeared, each with a different nostalgic treat hidden within. Word spread slowly around town until finally, a delivery driver confessed: 'I’ve been putting those in there!' Turns out, he was just trying to brighten everyone's days.

2. At midnight, a delivery driver whispered to himself as he loaded boxes into Walgreens: ‘I wonder if they sell moonlight here?’ As he finished loading, an old lady approached the counter. She asked for Band-Aids and whispered, 'Do you have any stars or moons?' The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Ma’am, we have everything except the real thing!'

3. In the early hours of every Sunday morning, an anonymous voice crackles over Walgreens’ intercom. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ it intones solemnly, ‘today is not Monday.’ A sleepy delivery driver hears the voice and mutters, 'No, it's definitely not Monday!' A few minutes later, a regular customer asks the pharmacist, smiling, 'Is today really not Monday?' The pharmacist shrugs and replies, 'Who knows? But let's hope it stays like that for just a little while longer.'

4. One night, while stocking shelves, a young clerk heard a whisper coming from behind the counter: ‘Walgreens never closes… but who’s counting?’ Curious, the clerk followed the voice and found an old bottle of aspirin slowly rolling under the counter. As it rolled past, an elderly delivery driver chuckled, ‘Just another Walgreens ghost story.’ The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw the bottle had been there all along.
