About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning as he parked his truck near Asda Pharmacy. Among the usual boxes and packages in the loading bay, there lay an old, dusty suitcase. Curious but cautious, he left it be and went inside. Later that day, a regular customer asked the pharmacist if they had any unusual deliveries. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'Just an old suitcase—nothing too exciting.' The delivery driver overheard and muttered under his breath, ‘I’ll say…’ as he walked out, clutching a bag of forgotten sweets from childhood.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered Asda pharmacy and asked the cashier for his usual medication. The cashier scanned the bottle, then looked up with surprise: ‘Sir, I’ve been ringing your prescription for three days now.’ The old man scratched his head, puzzled. ‘Really?’ he said. ‘I must be forgetting things.’ He smiled sheepishly as the cashier laughed gently, repackaging the medicine. Later that evening, a neighbour popped in to chat, remarking how well the gentleman was doing despite his occasional mix-ups.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver heard a strange humming noise coming from behind Asda's closed doors. Curious, he peered through the glass and saw nothing but darkness. Suddenly, an old bottle of aspirin rolled across the counter and landed with a thud on the floor. The delivery driver laughed it off as a prank from a bored neighbor until he noticed the sign above the door reading ‘Closed for Stocktaking.’
4. In the early hours of dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver arrived at Asda with a full truckload. As he unloaded medicines in the dimly lit hallway, he swore he saw a shadowy figure slipping between shelves. Curious, he followed the ghostly form and found an old man rummaging through boxes, muttering about his forgotten prescription. Turns out, it was just a neighbor who’d missed the last bus home.
