About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight in Kings Pharmacy, when everyone else had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The old clock above the counter seemed to tick backwards for a split second before returning to normal. Curious, he looked around and saw an elderly gentleman behind the counter, humming softly to himself. ‘Just testing the new timekeeping mechanism,’ said the pharmacist with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver left, shaking his head but smiling, realizing that sometimes even the oddest places have their own unique charm.

2. Late one night, as the last customers left Kings Pharmacy, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention all staff—we’re out of Band-Aids.’ A sleepy pharmacist muttered into the mic, ‘Really? Who needs Band-Aids at this hour?’ Suddenly, a familiar voice replied from the back room: ‘I do!’ Turning around, they found their neighbor, who’d forgotten his latest scrape. The end result was a midnight supply run for Band-Aids and a new monthly tradition.

3. Late one night, as the last customers left Kings Pharmacy, a delivery driver struggled with a heavy box. Suddenly, the door creaked open and a familiar voice whispered: 'Need some help there?' The delivery driver looked up, startled but relieved. It was just an old neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, who lived above the pharmacy. ‘Oh, it’s you,’ he said, grinning. ‘I thought maybe it was ghosts of past deliveries.’ They worked together, and soon the box was safely inside. As they parted ways, Mr. Jenkins winked and muttered under his breath, ‘Guess I’ll see you again tomorrow night!’

4. Late one night, as the last customers left Kings Pharmacy, a delivery driver fumbled with his keys outside the locked door. Finally, he managed to unlock it and sighed in relief. Suddenly, from inside came an old voice: 'Young man, did you remember to turn off the neon sign?' A gruff pharmacist appeared behind him, waving a clipboard. The delivery driver sheepishly nodded, realizing too late that he'd forgotten again.
