About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does that old delivery truck always honk its horn three times when it pulls up?’ The pharmacist shrugged and said, ‘I’ve no idea—maybe they’re trying to signal something.’ Finally, an elderly neighbor walked in and whispered, ‘That’s because it’s the only way they can get their old dog to shut up inside!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the simple truth behind the daily mystery.

2. A neighborhood kid was riding his bike past the pharmacy one afternoon when he noticed something strange. The old delivery truck kept stopping mid-street, its driver peering intently into the rearview mirror. Curious, the boy approached and saw that in the mirror was reflected not a street, but an old photo of the town’s mayor as a child. Startled, the delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, I know you! You’re Mr. Mayor!’ Turns out, the pharmacist had accidentally left the picture frame on the dashboard. Everyone had a good laugh, and now it's a local joke—every time someone sees the reflection, they say, ‘Sutton Pharmacy, where history meets your prescription!’

3. A young mother rushed into the pharmacy, frantically searching for something in her purse. Just then, an elderly gentleman adjusted his glasses and calmly said, 'Ma’am, I believe you’ve left your umbrella here last week.' The woman’s eyes widened with surprise before she broke out laughing. ‘Oh my goodness!’ she exclaimed, ‘I did leave it here last week.’ The old gentleman smiled warmly and added, ‘It seems we’ve both found what we needed today—your umbrella and a bit of kindness.’

4. A curious cat kept appearing every night outside the pharmacy's closed door, staring intently at the neon sign above. One night, a delivery driver arrived with a box of new signs. Seeing the cat’s persistence, he joked, ‘Maybe it likes our hours!’ The next day, the neon sign read: “Open All Night for Our Feline Friend.” Ever since then, the neighborhood has nicknamed it ‘Kitty Pharmacy.’
