About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were picking up their prescriptions, an elderly voice crackled over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention all patients with pets—your furry friends are welcome in the parking lot today.’ No one knew who had made the announcement or why, but ever since then, dogs and cats could be seen lounging around outside Walgreens. Soon enough, a regular customer noticed that his dog was making new friends every time he visited Walgreens. Turns out, the vet across the street had started dropping off free samples of pet treats for any critters hanging out in the parking lot. And thus, Walgreens became the unofficial meeting spot for canine socializers—a place where humans picked up medicine while their pets chatted amiably under the sun.
2. In the early hours of every Monday morning, just as employees were setting up for the week, someone started leaving a mysterious note on the front door. It read: ‘Walgreens: open only when you’re ready.’ One Monday, an elderly delivery driver parked his truck outside and said to himself, 'I’ll wait until they’re ready.' Hours passed, and eventually, a neighborhood kid walked by and asked him, 'Grandpa, why are you waiting here?' The old man replied, smiling, 'Waiting for Walgreens to be open!'
3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens with a box full of orders. As he unloaded the groceries from the truck, he noticed something peculiar in one of the bags—a small, handwritten note reading ‘To our favorite pharmacist.’ Curious, he opened it and found inside a bag of freshly baked cookies. Smiling, the driver took a bite and realized they were his wife’s famous chocolate chip cookies. Turning around, he saw her standing in the doorway, waving shyly. 'Happy anniversary,' she mouthed. The delivery man laughed, shaking his head—another day, another mystery, but always worth it.
4. In the wee hours before dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret’. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist asked curiously, ‘What’s in it?’ The driver replied, grinning mysteriously, ‘Just some vitamins for an old friend.’ The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but shrugged and took the package. Later that morning, a regular customer walked in asking for his usual supplements. The pharmacist smiled knowingly and said, 'I think I might have something special for you today.'
