About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Boots Pharmacy, every morning begins with an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, please! The liquid vitamins are now located in the cloud nine section.’ It’s become such a quirky tradition that customers look forward to it. One day, a new delivery driver arrived and heard the familiar announcement. Thinking it was a joke, he shouted back, ‘Excuse me? Cloud nine, really?’ The pharmacist just smiled and said, ‘Welcome to Boots! Enjoy your stay!’ Ever since then, whenever someone new starts working there, they get a special tour of the ‘cloud nine’ section—an empty shelf above everyone's head.

2. At Boots Pharmacy, one day a delivery driver left a mysterious package in the loading bay. For weeks, everyone wondered what it contained—until finally someone dared open it during lunch break. Inside was an old, dusty teddy bear with a note: ‘To whoever finds me, please give me a good home.’ Turns out, it belonged to a neighbor’s kid who’d accidentally left it there days earlier. The whole office had a good laugh and gave the bear back.

3. At Boots Pharmacy, every night around closing time, a mysterious sign appears on the door: 'Tomorrow we'll open earlier—ask anyone.' One morning, a delivery driver arrived early and knocked on the locked door. ‘It says here,’ he said, pointing to the sign, ‘that you’ll be opening soon.’ A puzzled-looking neighbor emerged from across the street and nodded sagely: ‘Yes, they always do… but never do!’ The driver shrugged, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about strange old pharmacies.

4. At Boots Pharmacy, every afternoon after closing time, a strange shadow starts moving behind the shelves. A regular notices it first and whispers to friends: 'I think I see someone stocking the shelves when no one's there.' Soon enough, everyone in town is talking about it—even the night shift delivery driver spots the same figure. One evening, an old lady walks into Boots and asks the pharmacist if she’s seen anyone unusual lately. With a smile, he replies, ‘Oh yes, ma’am. We’ve got ourselves a little ghost stocker!’ And from then on, whenever anyone mentions Boots, they always add, ‘Did you hear about our friendly ghost?’
