About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Lloyds Pharmacy, customers began noticing something strange: every Tuesday afternoon, an old man in a tweed suit would enter and ask for the same thing—an empty box of aspirin. When asked why, he’d simply smile and say, ‘For my collection.’ One day, a delivery driver noticed him and decided to have some fun. On the next Tuesday, he left an entire crate of empty boxes behind the counter. The old gentleman beamed, took them all, and said cheerfully, 'Finally, I can retire!'

2. At Lloyds Pharmacy, every morning around sunrise, a faint but distinct smell of freshly baked cookies wafts through the air. Regulars first noticed it last winter and now eagerly await its return each day. One morning, an excited regular rushed in, yelling, ‘I think I finally found where they bake those cookies!’ A perplexed delivery driver replied, ‘You’re standing right next to a pharmacy, mate.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that the sweet scent was actually coming from someone’s breakfast pastries across the street.

3. At Lloyds Pharmacy, every night after closing, a soft clicking sound could be heard coming from the storeroom. Employees assumed it was just the shelves settling, until one late-night cleaner swore he saw a shadowy figure disappearing into the shadows. Soon enough, everyone in the store started noticing strange things happening—like bottles rearranging themselves on the shelves or boxes mysteriously shifting positions. One day, an old lady came in for her usual prescription and asked the pharmacist if she’d seen ‘that funny-looking man’ lurking around lately. Turned out it was just their new stockboy, lost in thought while organizing medicines.

4. At Lloyds Pharmacy, every Wednesday evening just before closing, a delivery driver would arrive with a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper. Nobody knew what was inside until one day, when the pharmacist accidentally cut through the wrapping… Inside was a giant jar of jelly beans, each one a different color and flavor. The pharmacist tasted them all and declared they were the best he’d ever had. From then on, every Wednesday became Jelly Bean Night at Lloyds Pharmacy, drawing neighbors and customers who came for advice or a sweet treat.
