About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Fenway Health Pharmacy and asked angrily into his radio: ‘Why did you send me here? This place is always closed!’ ‘Cause,’ came a sleepy voice from inside, ‘we’re not open until dawn.’ The delivery guy grumbled something about stupid pharmacies being on weird schedules before driving off. A few minutes later, a neighbor walked by and waved cheerfully through the darkened window, winking and whispering, ‘Hey, thanks for staying late—you guys are lifesavers!’

2. One morning, a pharmacist looked out the window of Fenway Health Pharmacy and saw a neighbor frantically waving from across the street. ‘What’s wrong?’ he called. The neighbor replied, ‘I just found out my new prescription makes me immune to mosquito bites!’ The pharmacist laughed and said, 'That sounds like good news!' Then another customer walked in—a delivery driver scratching furiously—who complained, 'But now every time I deliver packages, I'm getting eaten alive!'

3. One day, a little girl walked into Fenway Health Pharmacy with her mother. As they approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at something on the shelf behind the pharmacist’s head. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that bottle say “Potions for Pet Paws”?’ The pharmacist smiled and bent down to explain, 'It's just a new line of organic pet shampoo.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully before turning back to her mom and whispering, 'I wonder if it works better than those other bottles?'

4. One afternoon, while customers were browsing Fenway Health Pharmacy’s shelves, an unusual announcement crackled over the store’s speakers: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—we’ve run out of Band-Aids in every color except pink and blue. If you require another hue, please contact our manager.’ As if on cue, a regular customer raised his hand and declared, 'I’ll take one each of red, green, yellow, and orange!' The pharmacist looked perplexed but smiled, saying, 'You must be new here.' The man replied with a twinkle in his eye, 'No, I just know that when it comes to Band-Aids, Fenway Health Pharmacy has some serious issues!'
