About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist noticed something peculiar—each time he spoke, the medicine bottles on the shelves seemed to whisper back. Finally, the pharmacist couldn’t take it anymore and asked what was going on. The bottles chorused together, ‘We’re just saying thanks for keeping us stocked!’ Turns out, they were talking about the delivery driver who always brought them fresh supplies. Everyone had a good laugh, including a regular customer who overheard the story and said, “That’s why I never miss my midnight visits here.”

2. Late one night, as an overnight stocker was restocking shelves, he heard a strange humming noise coming from inside the pharmacy's vending machines. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old soda machine playing an endless loop of ‘80s hits. Turns out, it had been stuck like that for months, entertaining late-night workers with its random playlist. The next morning, everyone in the store laughed when they saw the stocker dancing along to Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean’ on the intercom announcement.}

3. Early in the morning, when most people were still dreaming, a pharmacist at Walgreens noticed something odd. A small, unmarked box kept appearing on the counter every few hours, accompanied by a note scribbled in pencil: 'Take care of it.' Curious, the pharmacist opened the box one day and found only a single lollipop inside. Smiling, he placed it back and wrote a note in return: ‘Hope you’re having a sweet day!’ Soon enough, an anonymous neighbor started leaving little treats—chocolate bars, cookies, even fresh flowers. Now, whenever someone needs a refill or has a question, they get a friendly surprise along with their medicine.’

4. Early in the morning, when the streets were quiet and empty, a neighborhood dog began visiting Walgreens every day. He would sit outside the door, waiting patiently until the pharmacist unlocked it. One day, a delivery driver noticed the dog and decided to leave an extra bag of treats. The dog’s tail wagged happily as he scampered off, but soon returned with his friend—a cat who now also visited daily for snacks. Before long, customers started bringing their pets, and Walgreens became the unofficial pet hangout spot in town.
