About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an early riser was stocking up on vitamins when he noticed something odd. A delivery driver kept glancing nervously at the clock above the counter before making his rounds. Finally, the sun came up and so did the driver’s courage—he whispered into the early riser’s ear that Walgreens had accidentally ordered him a crate of alarm clocks instead of syringes. Everyone laughed, including the befuddled pharmacist who just wanted another cup of coffee.

2. At night, while closing up shop, a Walgreens employee heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Please return your lost smile—we miss it here.’ Curious, but not alarmed, she checked every aisle and shelf, only to find everything in order. Finally, late at night, she noticed a small child’s toy stuck in the register drawer—a smiling bear with a missing button eye. Smiling, she thought aloud, ‘Maybe someone left their smile behind?’ The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood brought their old toys to Walgreens, hoping to reunite them with their long-lost smiles.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into the Walgreens parking lot and swore he saw a shadowy figure dart between the shelves inside. Curious but cautious, he parked and approached the store entrance—only to find everything eerily quiet. As he peered through the window, he thought he saw someone rifling through the aspirin bottles. Suddenly, an old lady in a bathrobe waved cheerfully from behind the counter, yelling, ‘Welcome back, honey! We’re open twenty-four-seven!’ The delivery driver burst out laughing and realized it was just another late-night Walgreens adventure.

4. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the back of Walgreens, he stopped mid-step, startled by the sound of faint laughter coming from inside. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw an old man rifling through the shelves, humming softly to himself. Turning around with a mischievous smile, the man said, 'Looking for something specific?' The delivery driver stammered, realizing he'd just been pranked by a friendly neighborhood customer.
