About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store was almost empty, an old man would often sit in the corner of Walgreens, humming softly to himself. One day, after hours, a delivery driver noticed that the man's shopping cart seemed to follow him outside, rolling along silently behind. The next morning, the manager found out that the old man had left his dog inside the store overnight. The canine, confused and sleepy, was happily following the shopping cart around the parking lot until someone recognized it as a neighbor’s pet.

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the backroom, he noticed something odd on the shelf: a small, handwritten sign that read ‘Take two for good luck, but don’t forget to come back tomorrow.’ Curious, he took two packets and left. The next day, he returned to find the same note, only now it said, ‘Three for prosperity!’ By the third day, the sign changed again: ‘Four for eternal youth.’ And so began an annual tradition—everyone in town started dropping by Walgreens just before closing time, hoping for their own personal sign. The delivery driver eventually became friends with the pharmacist, who confessed it was his way of making people smile.

3. In the early morning hours, when most pharmacies were quiet and asleep, a strange sound would occasionally echo through Walgreens' empty aisles. A soft humming, like someone softly singing along to an unknown tune, seemed to come from behind the shelves. One day, a delivery driver heard the song and thought it was his favorite childhood lullaby. Smiling, he joined in, creating a harmonious duet with the mysterious voice until a nearby neighbor peeked inside, thinking someone was having a midnight karaoke party.

4. In the late afternoon, when customers were scarce, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the loading bay. Among the usual boxes of medicine and supplies, there lay a small, dusty teddy bear with a tag that read ‘To Mr. Walgreen.’ No one claimed it. Curious, he picked up the bear and placed it on a nearby shelf. Over the next few days, other employees began noticing the little toy. Soon enough, an elderly lady came in asking for her grandson’s lost teddy bear. The staff laughed it off, but she insisted it was hers. They searched everywhere—only to find out the bear had been missing from her house for years.
