About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, an exhausted delivery driver asked the Walgreens cashier, ‘Do you ever see ghosts here?’ The cashier just smiled and said, “Only when it’s slow.” Suddenly, a regular customer walked in and asked for Band-Aids. The cashier turned around with a straight face and replied, ‘They’re right behind you.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who realized he was seeing things that night.

2. One morning, a Walgreens employee noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a shopping cart filled with boxes of band-aids and bottles of aspirin, arranged like a tiny pharmacy. Nobody claimed it, but every day more supplies appeared. Finally, one day an enthusiastic delivery driver arrived with a box labeled ‘Emergency First Aid Kit.’ He joked, ‘Looks like someone’s been stocking up for Armageddon!’ Turned out it was just a prank by a friendly neighborhood pharmacist who loved practical jokes.

3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a sleepy Walgreens employee stocking shelves found an unexpected visitor: a tiny plastic unicorn nestled among the aspirin bottles. Curious, she picked it up and noticed its little plastic horn was slightly bent. Later that day, while restocking the same shelf, she found another one—this time with a broken leg. By closing time, there were five miniature unicorns scattered around the store. A delivery driver claimed he must’ve accidentally dropped them from his lunchbox, but no one believed him—not even a neighbor who stopped in for some band-aids.

4. In the late afternoon, a Walgreens employee stocking shelves found an old, dust-covered book nestled among the aspirin bottles. Curious, she opened it and discovered a note inside: 'Take only what you need.' As days passed, more employees started finding similar notes in unexpected places—next to band-aids, near cough syrup, even hidden behind boxes of tissues. Soon enough, customers joined in, leaving little messages like ‘Have a great day!’ or doodles on sticky pads. Before long, Walgreens became known not just for its medicine but also for its quirky community spirit.
