About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Pan Pharmacy, every morning begins with an unusual scene. A little girl, clutching her teddy bear, hurries into the store just as the doorbell starts playing ‘Happy Birthday’ on its own. The pharmacist smiles and nods knowingly, but never fails to greet her warmly. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box labeled ‘Liquid Nitrogen for Ice Cream’. The pharmacist raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. Later that evening, while closing up shop, he heard a familiar tune from the doorbell—‘Happy Birthday’ again. Peering outside, he saw only a shadowy figure waving goodbye. Turned out it was just his next-door neighbor, celebrating his birthday in style.

2. At Pan Pharmacy, every night around closing time, a mysterious sound starts echoing through the empty aisles. It's like someone is humming softly but no one ever sees anyone leaving after hours. One evening, a delivery driver hears the humming and decides to investigate. Turns out it’s just an old ventilator starting up again. The next day, everyone jokes that maybe it was the ghost of a former pharmacist who loved singing while working late. But then, a neighbor drops off some cookies for ‘the singing ghost’—and suddenly, the humming becomes much sweeter.

3. At Pan Pharmacy, one day a curious package arrived via delivery. It looked ordinary enough—until the pharmacist opened it and found a live parrot inside, squawking loudly and flapping its wings. The pharmacist tried to calmly catch the bird but ended up chasing it around the counter, causing several bottles of medicine to fall onto the floor with a resounding clatter. A regular customer who happened to be waiting for his prescription couldn’t help but burst out laughing, prompting everyone else in the store to join in. The parrot eventually perched on top of an empty shelf, eyeing the crowd curiously before squawking one last time and flying out through an open window, never to be seen again.

4. At Pan Pharmacy, every afternoon after closing, a strange humming noise can be heard coming from the basement. Noises like that usually don't bother anyone much, but when it starts getting louder and the lights flicker, even the most stoic pharmacist takes notice. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver decided to investigate and found himself dancing along with the hum while singing old-timey songs. The pharmacist, thinking he was just another eccentric customer, joined in, and soon the whole neighborhood gathered downstairs for what became known as ‘Pan Pharmacy’s Afternoon Jam Session.’
