About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Walgreens closed its doors and most customers left, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the same old man always waited near the entrance. Every day without fail, he’d stand there with an empty shopping bag, staring intently into the store’s darkened windows. Finally curious, one evening the delivery guy asked him, ‘Sir, do you mind telling what you’re waiting for?’ The old man smiled and replied softly, ‘I’m just watching my reflection in the window—trying to remember how I look these days.’ Turns out, it was his grandson inside, picking up some medicine. Everyone laughed that night, including the old man who now waved cheerfully every time he saw the delivery driver.

2. Late one night, as the neon sign flickered above, an elderly gentleman adjusted his glasses and peered into the nearly empty store. With a quiet rustle of paper bags, he began filling a shopping basket with items no customer had purchased. Finally, he reached for a box of chocolates and smiled to himself. Just then, the door creaked open, revealing a sleepy-looking delivery driver. ‘Sir,’ said the young man, ‘you might want to check out—’ but before he could finish, they both jumped back as the old timer whispered, “It’s okay, sonny. I’m just stocking up for Halloween.”

3. In the early morning hours, when the world slept, a little boy stood outside Walgreens, staring up at the glowing sign. His eyes widened as he watched something unusual unfold. Suddenly, the door opened with a soft click, and an elderly pharmacist emerged, yawning and rubbing his eyes. ‘What are you doing here?’ he asked sleepily. The boy pointed excitedly at the sign, whispering, 'I saw it too!' Turns out, both of them had just seen a squirrel scurrying across the roof.'

4. Late one night, as the neon sign flickered above, a delivery driver swore he heard someone humming softly in the empty aisles. Curious, he followed the sound until he found an old cash register playing ‘Happy Birthday’ on repeat. Turned out, it was just a neighbor’s kid practicing for his next party.
