About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Walgreens parking lot—a small, rusted keychain shaped like an old-fashioned typewriter. Curious passersby began spotting similar oddities around town: a vintage calculator on the pharmacy counter, a tin lunchbox left behind in the checkout aisle. No one could explain why or who had left them. Finally, someone found an old notebook hidden under the cash register—with just one message scribbled inside: ‘Please return these items to their rightful owner.’ Turns out, it was just a prank by a neighborhood kid who loved collecting retro gadgets and leaving them everywhere for fun.

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are still quiet, an early bird customer arrived at Walgreens with a peculiar request. 'I’d like to buy two dozen eggs,' he said, ‘but only if they’re sold alphabetically.’ The night clerk, scratching his head, called over another employee who happened to be organizing vitamins. "Egg-Zimon," she suggested after a moment’s thought. The customer nodded and left with his unusual purchase. Later that day, a delivery driver joked, 'Guess Walgreens now has an entire section just for Mr. Egg-Zimon!'

3. In the middle of a routine delivery, a young driver stopped short and asked himself, ‘Why is there a life-sized cardboard cutout of a unicorn standing outside Walgreens?’ Curious, he got out to investigate and noticed that the unicorn was holding a sign reading ‘Happy Birthday!’ Next to it stood an elderly gentleman waving cheerfully. Turns out, it was his neighbor’s birthday, and Walgreens had delivered the surprise party decorations right on time—even if they were a bit… imaginative.

4. In the dead of night, a sleepy Walgreens employee heard a strange rustling sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, she peeked around the corner—and found a tiny owl perched on the cash register, its large eyes fixed intently on the closed pharmacy door. The owl blinked once and then hopped onto an open bottle of aspirin, causing it to rattle slightly. The employee giggled softly, thinking maybe it was just a mischievous little creature looking for some restoril. She quietly opened the back door, letting the owl fly away into the moonlit night with a final hoot. From that day forward, locals started calling her ‘the pharmacist who let an owl out’—and business never looked better.
