About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a little boy walked into Walgreens and pointed excitedly at something on the shelf. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why do these band-aids change colors when I touch them?’ The pharmacist smiled and explained, 'They’re not changing color, sonny—you’re just seeing different patterns in the gel.' The boy thought for a moment, then grinned broadly. ‘Oh, now I get it!’ He turned back to his mom proudly, whispering, ‘We should totally buy some more.’

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens drive-thru window with a confused look on his face. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked the pharmacist, ‘do you sell aspirin here or is it some kind of secret ingredient in your coffee?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'We sell aspirin, but only if you order it through the regular window.' The delivery driver nodded wisely and drove off, muttering something about reading the menu next time. As he left, an elderly gentleman behind him said, 'Kids these days...' and ordered his usual cup of coffee.

3. A neighborhood cat had taken to hanging out near the Walgreens late at night. Every evening, an elderly lady would emerge from her house and patiently wait for him outside the store's entrance. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a huge package. Trying not to disturb the cat, he carefully placed it on the counter. The old lady looked up curiously, then smiled when she saw what was inside—a giant can of tuna. It turned out that everyone in the neighborhood knew about their midnight friend’s favorite treat.

4. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered Walgreens and began methodically checking every expiration date on the shelves. Finally, he approached the counter with a smile, announcing proudly, 'I’ve found one expired item—an old calendar from last year!' The pharmacist laughed heartily and replied, ‘That’s okay, sir; it was never meant for sale anyway.’
