About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Walgreens pharmacy closed its doors, a regular noticed something odd. Every evening, just before closing, a small dog would appear from nowhere and run straight for the counter, stopping only to sniff the empty shelves. One night, a delivery driver arrived late with an urgent shipment. As he rushed inside, he heard soft whimpers coming from behind the counter. The little dog had found him—sniffing his shoes like they were the most fascinating thing ever—and wouldn’t leave until he petted it. Turns out, everyone in town knew that Walgreens’ nightly visitor was actually a friendly neighborhood mutt who just loved meeting new people.

2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed an unusual package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he opened it to find a small ceramic piggy bank filled with pennies. Confused, he took the piggy bank inside. Later that day, when the store manager counted the coins, they discovered not just pennies but also dozens of dollar bills hidden among them. Turns out, someone had accidentally left their lunch money behind—complete with a note apologizing for the mix-up. The delivery driver became something of a local hero, earning himself free candy from Walgreens for weeks.

3. In the late afternoon, a little girl walked into her neighborhood Walgreens with her mom. As they approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at an empty shelf and whispered, ‘Mommy, why is there a big smiley face drawn on that box?’ The pharmacist looked puzzled for a moment, then broke out laughing. 'Oh honey,' he said gently, 'that's not a smiley face—it’s just our new inventory tracking sticker!' The little girl giggled and turned to her mom, who smiled warmly and explained, 'See, sweetie? Sometimes grown-ups make mistakes too.'

4. One day, while stocking shelves in the Walgreens warehouse, a worker found an old, dusty box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Inside were packets of mysterious powder, each marked with different dates and ingredients. No one could recall ever seeing them before. A delivery driver came by later that day, complaining about his sore back from lifting boxes. The worker joked, 'Maybe you should try some of those mystery powders!' Turns out, one packet had ‘back pain relief’ written on it—no wonder he felt better so quickly.
