About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does every third customer here suddenly start humming “Happy Birthday”?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Well, see, we keep a special edition of our birthday cards in stock. When customers pick one up, they often flip through them and come across ours—with that song printed on it.' A delivery driver chimed in, 'And once you hear it, it's stuck in your head for days!' The regular laughed heartily, knowing he’d never look at those cards quite the same way again.

2. One night, an anxious neighbor knocked on the door of the Walgreens manager and whispered, 'I just saw someone buying three boxes of Band-Aids and one jar of Vaseline—what could that mean?' The manager shook his head with a smile and replied, ‘Don’t worry, it’s probably just our regular who always buys those things when he has a cold.’ The neighbor relaxed, relieved, and left, leaving behind a warm feeling that sometimes even Walgreens knows its customers best.

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the back entrance with a big smile on his face. He had just picked up a mysterious package marked only with the words 'For urgent use only'. As he opened it, a small note fell out: ‘Use this when you’re feeling extra nice today.’ Inside was a bag of candy. Turns out, it was from the pharmacist’s wife who wanted to brighten someone's day. The delivery driver grinned and drove off, humming a tune.

4. One day, while customers were browsing quietly through shelves, an unexpected voice crackled over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention please—if you’ve been feeling unusually lucky today, it might be because you forgot your umbrella!’ A delivery driver, startled by the announcement, frantically searched for his missing umbrella but found only a box of tissues. A regular customer, amused by the commotion, quipped, 'Maybe next time you'll remember that luck comes in different shapes!' The store erupted into laughter as everyone realized that sometimes Walgreens is more than just a pharmacy—it's a place where even umbrellas have a sense of humor.'
