About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In an ordinary aisle of Fred Meyer Pharmacy, a regular noticed something unusual one day—a bottle of cough syrup labeled with instructions in invisible ink. Curious neighbors started bringing their own bottles for deciphering, and soon enough, everyone had a good laugh when they realized it was just a prank from a mischievous delivery driver. Word quickly spread around town that Fred Meyer’s cough syrup had magical properties. Soon, customers began lining up not for medicine but for the chance to see if their own bottles held hidden messages. The pharmacist, amused but wise, decided to keep a supply of blank bottles on hand—just in case someone wanted to try again. And so, Fred Meyer Pharmacy became known as much for its invisible-ink pranks as for its actual medications.
2. In a quiet corner of Fred Meyer Pharmacy's parking lot, a delivery driver once found an old umbrella that wouldn't fit in anyone's shopping cart. Curious passersby started leaving small notes and trinkets inside it overnight. Soon enough, the umbrella became a makeshift mailbox for everyone’s whimsy—love letters from shy neighbors, handwritten wishes from children, even a few practical jokes like tiny toy cars or pens. One day, though, someone left a note reading, ‘Dear Umbrella Box, please stop growing—it’s taking over our parking lot!’ And just like that, the little ritual came to an end.
3. In Fred Meyer Pharmacy’s late-night stockroom, a delivery driver found himself staring at a mysterious note taped to the cooler door: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ Curious, he opened it and found only bottles of aspirin—exactly what he needed for his headache. Smiling, he took two packets, left one behind, and scribbled on the note: 'Thanks, neighbor!'
4. In Fred Meyer Pharmacy’s late-night stockroom, a delivery driver found himself staring at a bottle that kept changing labels. Curious, he picked it up and read aloud: ‘For external use only—may cause drowsiness.’ He shrugged and placed it back on the shelf, but when he glanced again, the label had changed: now it said, ‘Warning: may induce sleepwalking!’ A regular customer passing by chuckled, ‘Guess they forgot to scan the night shift today.’
