About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was dropping off supplies one morning when he noticed something odd. The old pharmacist, Mr. Hirons, had just finished counting bottles and seemed unusually excited. ‘Did you hear?’ he asked, waving an ancient bottle of elixir in the air. ‘Someone’s been stealing our lucky charm!’ ‘Lucky charm?’ the delivery driver raised an eyebrow. ‘I saw him yesterday,’ chipped in a neighbor passing by. ‘He was dancing around with a bottle of expired cough syrup!’ Mr. Hirons chuckled, shaking his head. ‘Guess I’ll just keep my eye on the shelf then.’

2. A delivery driver was unloading boxes late one afternoon when he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside Hirons Pharmacy. Curious, he peered through the window and saw the pharmacist whispering softly into an old-fashioned cash register. The delivery driver watched in amazement as the pharmacist suddenly smiled and said something like ‘Thank you, dear customer.’ He then closed the cash register with a satisfied click. The eerie hum stopped, and everything went back to normal. Turns out, it was just an old record playing on repeat—an ancient promotional tape for Hirons’ special herbal remedies.

3. A delivery driver was stocking shelves early in the morning when he spotted something peculiar on the top shelf of Hirons' pharmacy. Curious, he reached up and pulled down a dusty old bottle labeled ‘Elixir of Youth’. The label looked vintage, but there was no expiration date. As he examined it closer, he noticed that if you tilted the bottle just right, the liquid inside seemed to shimmer like starlight. Excitedly, he took a sip—only to realize too late that the bottle had been filled with cough syrup. For weeks after, whenever anyone mentioned Hirons’ mysterious Elixir, everyone would laugh and say, 'I heard it works best when mixed with orange juice!'

4. A delivery driver was stocking shelves early in the morning when he overheard a voice whispering from behind the counter. "Sir, could you please check if we've got any special elixirs today?" The driver looked around but saw no one. Curious, our delivery driver approached the counter and found an old bottle labeled ‘Elixir for Impatient Customers’. He chuckled, thinking it must be some prank by the night shift. Later that day, his usually grumpy neighbor popped into Hirons and asked for an urgent refill of their special blend. After serving him, the pharmacist smiled knowingly and whispered, ‘That’ll teach him to wait so long!’
