About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Cannon Pharmacy and asked the clerk, ‘Do you remember when that old delivery truck used to honk its horn exactly three times every Tuesday?’ The clerk smiled and shook her head, curious but not alarmed. The pharmacist overheard the conversation and chuckled. 'Oh, yes,' he said, leaning against the counter. 'That's Mr. Jenkins next door. He does it every week to remind us it's time for our weekly coffee break.' The old man nodded knowingly, paid for his medicine, and left with a smile, while the clerk waved goodbye to Mr. Jenkins' familiar figure outside, who had just honked once more.

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Cannon Pharmacy with a mysterious package. As he approached the door, he noticed an old sign above it that read: ‘Closed Sundays.’ But today was clearly not Sunday. The delivery driver knocked gently on the door, but no one answered. Curious, he opened it slightly—only to find the place filled with foggy mirrors and shelves full of dusty bottles. Suddenly, a voice from behind said, 'Welcome to our little Sunday sale!' Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman smiling warmly. 'Just a bit of a tradition,' chuckled the neighbor. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering, 'Next time I'll check the calendar first.'

3. At dusk, while customers were browsing shelves, a voice called out from the back room: ‘Does anyone here know what time it is?’ No one answered, but soon everyone agreed that something strange had begun. A delivery driver, adjusting his glasses, popped his head in and asked, 'Is everything alright?' The voice replied, 'Just checking if you guys are still alive!' Turned out, it was just an old pharmacist playing a prank on everyone. Everyone laughed, and business went on as usual—except now they always checked the time together.

4. One night, as Cannon Pharmacy closed its doors for the day, a sign appeared on the window: 'We’re Closed, But We’ll Open Early Tomorrow If You Bring Your Own Medicine'. A delivery driver arrived early next morning with a bag full of random pills and potions. The pharmacist smiled and said, ‘Welcome back! Looks like you brought your own medicine—just what our sign asked for!’
