About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, while closing up early, an employee heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Family Drug, your prescription is ready.’ They looked around—no one there. The next morning, a note appeared on the counter: ‘Thanks for filling my order last night.’ From then on, whenever someone called in a late-night prescription, the pharmacist would say, ‘Alright, Family Drug, I’m sending it right down!’ And sure enough, every time, the note appeared with a smiley face and thanks. It became part of their routine until one day, a delivery driver asked jokingly, ‘Who’s that mysterious customer?’ To which the pharmacist replied, laughing, ‘Oh, just our secret VIP!’
2. One morning, as the pharmacist was preparing for the day, he noticed a mysterious note on the counter: ‘Family Drug: open early today—ask for Joe.’ Curious, he opened earlier than usual and waited behind the counter. Soon enough, an elderly lady approached and asked for Joe. When he inquired who she meant, she smiled mysteriously and said, “Joe’s not here yet.” Finally, around noon, a young delivery driver named Alex arrived, scratching his head. 'I’m Joe,' he said sheepishly. The old lady burst out laughing and winked at the pharmacist. 'Welcome aboard, son!'
3. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Family Drug with a strange package marked ‘urgent.’ As he approached the counter, the pharmacist noticed that the box seemed to be glowing softly. The pharmacist shrugged and opened it curiously—inside was just a bottle of aspirin wrapped in neon paper. The glow came from a misplaced sticker. A neighbor later confessed they did it as a prank because the store always sold out of their favorite brand first. Everyone laughed it off, and now, whenever someone asks for extra-strength pain reliever, they teasingly say, ‘Ask for it at Family Drug—they never disappoint!’
4. At dusk, when kids were rushing home from school, one boy stopped dead in his tracks outside Family Drug. His eyes widened as he pointed at the sign above the door, reading ‘Open’ even though everyone knew it closed hours ago. Suddenly, an elderly neighbor emerged from inside, waving cheerfully and explaining that they had just finished their shift early. The boy laughed, realizing his mistake, while others joining him on the street nodded knowingly—apparently, Mrs. Jenkins loved pulling pranks like these after her long days delivering prescriptions.
