About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In a quiet corner of Walgreens, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the usual bottles and boxes on the checkout counter lay an old, dusty tin whistle. No one claimed it, no note explained its presence. Over the next few days, more whistles appeared—some tarnished, some new, each with its own unique tone. Soon enough, customers started blowing into them during checkout, creating impromptu concerts. The manager, amused but perplexed, finally announced: 'Whoever left these whistles here clearly had a sense of humor!' And so, Walgreens became known as the place where you could pick up your medicine—and maybe even a tune.'

2. In a small town pharmacy, an old lady browsing aisles found something odd in her shopping basket—an envelope filled with dollar bills, left behind anonymously. Smiling, she paid for it and left, leaving everyone guessing. The next day, a delivery driver found another envelope, this time containing cookies. A note read: ‘Thanks for spreading kindness!’ Soon, neighbors started dropping off unexpected gifts—a bottle of wine here, some flowers there. It turned into a charming tradition until one day someone left a sign: “Walgreens: Where your generosity is always on sale.”

3. At closing time, a night stocker heard a strange noise coming from the back room. Was it just an old alarm clock, or had someone left something behind? Curious, he peered inside and found only a small teddy bear sitting on the counter. Turned out, a delivery driver had accidentally left it earlier that day. The night stocker smiled, thinking how nice it was for someone to leave such a thoughtful gift—even if it wasn’t intended.

4. Late at night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock, noticing an unusual glow inside the nearly empty store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a friendly old pharmacist mixing candies for his granddaughter’s birthday. ‘I thought this place was closed,’ muttered the driver. The pharmacist smiled and waved him in, saying, “Oh no, Walgreens is never truly closed—just waiting for our next customer!”
