About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, an early bird delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist noticed something peculiar about the box’s label. Curious, the pharmacist opened it carefully and found inside only a small note that read: ‘Please dispense this to Mr. Johnson.’ The note was signed simply, ‘A concerned neighbor.’ Turns out, someone had accidentally packed the wrong package in the rush.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and noticed something odd—a strange humming sound coming from inside. As he approached the door, the hum grew louder, almost like a swarm of bees had taken over. Curious, the driver opened the door just a crack—and was greeted by an army of tiny fluorescent tubes, all flickering in unison. Startled, he slammed the door shut, but not before hearing a muffled voice whispering, ‘We’re open twenty-four-seven!’ Turns out it was just a power surge. The next day, everyone laughed it off as another Walgreens urban legend.

3. At midnight, a sleep-deprived delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens for another caffeine fix. The store was quiet except for one eerie announcement over the PA: 'Attention all customers—your prescriptions are now available in reverse alphabetical order.' The delivery driver rubbed his eyes and muttered something about ‘reverse alphabetical what?’ As he approached the counter, an old lady smiled sweetly and asked if she could help him find anything. With a groan, he replied, ‘Just some coffee, please,’ only to hear her say, ‘Your prescription’s right behind you.’ He turned around—and there it was, neatly placed in reverse order, with a note that read: “Welcome to Walgreens—where everything is backwards!”

4. At closing time, a tired Walgreens employee locked up the store and walked outside. Suddenly, over the intercom came a scratchy voice: ‘Attention! This is not a drill—we’re out of Band-Aids!’ The employee froze for a moment, then laughed and whispered back, ‘We’ve got plenty of Band-Aids, you old grouch!’ The voice replied, ‘Good to hear, but next time maybe check before announcing it over the intercom.’ With that, the lights went off, and everything returned to normal. The employee shook their head with a smile, thinking, ‘That’s why I love working here—even our ghostly Band-Aid shortage has personality.’
