About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as an old man waited for his prescription, he overheard a delivery driver whispering into his phone: ‘I just dropped off a bottle of something called “Liquid Luck” at Highfield Road Pharmacy.’ The next day, when asked by a curious neighbor what that was all about, the pharmacist smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Oh, that's our new secret ingredient—just adds a little luck to every order!'

2. One morning, while a regular was waiting for his usual medication, he noticed something strange wafting through the air—a sweet, almost nostalgic scent of fresh-baked cookies mixed with the familiar aroma of medicine. As he followed the scent, he found an elderly delivery driver humming softly as he placed a tray of warm cookies on the counter. 'For the staff,' he said with a smile, ‘and one for you too—might help you remember why you come here every day.' The regular laughed and shook his head, knowing that sometimes Highfield Road Pharmacy really does feel like home.

3. One day, while a young pharmacist was counting pills behind the counter, an elderly voice came over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’re out of patience.’ The young pharmacist looked up, confused, and saw no one in sight. Then he heard another voice: 'And could you please stop humming that tune?' Turned out it was just an old cassette tape left on the shelf by a delivery driver. The end.

4. Late one afternoon, a neighborhood kid was playing near the pharmacy's dumpster when he heard strange whispers coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man behind the counter, humming softly to himself as he mixed some powders in a small bowl. The kid waved shyly, but the man didn’t notice, too absorbed in his work. Turns out, it was just Mr. Jenkins, the pharmacist, making his special herbal remedy for colds—an annual tradition since forever.
