About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, after closing hours, an Ash Tree Pharmacy employee heard a soft voice over the intercom: ‘Please leave the door unlocked.’ Curious but not alarmed, she obliged. The next morning, no one could explain who might have made that request. Later that week, another voice came through asking for aspirin. When asked why they hadn’t knocked or used the phone, the reply was simply, ‘I didn’t want to wake you up!’ Turns out it was just a friendly neighborhood owl with a cold.
2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to Ash Tree Pharmacy, he noticed an unusual sign in the window: ‘Please leave your pet’s prescription here with us.’ Curious, he parked and walked inside—only to find no pharmacist behind the counter. Finally, an old neighbor entered, wearing a big smile and holding a bag of cookies. 'I’m sorry for the inconvenience,' she said cheerfully. 'We’ve been closed for renovations for weeks now.' The delivery driver laughed, realizing his mistake. 'At least I got some free treats!'
3. Late one morning, as a pharmacist was preparing for lunch break, he noticed something peculiar on the shelves: a small ash tree branch had inexplicably grown overnight. Curious, the pharmacist plucked it and placed it in a vase near the counter. Over the next few days, more branches appeared—each bearing tiny leaves. Soon enough, customers started asking if they could buy their own little tree. Eventually, Ash Tree Pharmacy became famous not just for prescriptions but also for its quirky, ever-growing garden of miniature ash trees.
4. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Ash Tree Pharmacy with a routine shipment. As he approached the door, he noticed something odd—a small wooden box, wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine, had been left on the loading dock. He opened it carefully, only to find inside a note that read: ‘For your night shift blues—hopefully not as bitter as our coffee!’ And indeed, there was a bag of sugary candies. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Another day at Ash Tree Pharmacy.’
