About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store closed and only security lights illuminated the parking lot, customers began reporting hearing an odd voice over the intercom. It would say, ‘Your prescription is ready… in the freezer.’ One day, a delivery driver arrived late at night. He heard the familiar voice again: ‘Your package is ready… in the freezer.’ Confused, he opened the freezer door—and found his own lunch stashed there! From then on, everyone joked that Walgreens had a secret ice cream counter for employees.

2. In the early morning hours, when Walgreens’ shelves were neatly stocked but mostly empty, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in one of the aisles. Among the bottles of vitamins and boxes of band-aids sat an old, dusty jar labeled ‘Lucky Charms.’ Curious, he picked it up and read the label. Inside was indeed a potpourri of colorful candies—none of them resembling actual charms or lucky symbols. Smiling, he thought, 'Who knows? Maybe someone’s prank will bring some joy to customers today.' And so, for a brief moment, Walgreens became known not just for its medicine and groceries, but also for its very own brand of Lucky Charms—a sweet surprise for anyone who happened upon that aisle.

3. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything in sight, an unusual visitor appeared every dawn. A delivery driver arrived before sunrise, leaving packages piled high outside the Walgreens door. But no one ever saw him enter or leave. One morning, a neighbor noticed that the packages contained only boxes of hot chocolate and cookies. Soon, the whole town was waking up to the smell of cocoa wafting from Walgreens. Turns out, it was just a friendly delivery driver trying to brighten everyone’s day with some winter warmth.

4. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything in sight, an unusual visitor began prowling the aisles of Walgreens after closing hours. A neighborhood cat, it seemed, had discovered that the warm, dry pharmacy offered perfect shelter from the frigid cold. One night, a delivery driver arrived to find the cat fast asleep on a stack of boxes, completely oblivious to the chaos around him. With a gentle nudge, he woke up the furry intruder, who yawned and sauntered out into the night, never to return again. Since then, locals joke that Walgreens has its very own ‘nighttime resident’.
