Hirons Drug

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an old corner of Hirons Drug, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Amongst the usual bottles and boxes on the counter lay a tiny wooden car, too small even for a child’s toy. Curious, he picked it up—only to hear a soft click as the door behind him slowly opened. Turning around, he saw an elderly pharmacist smiling gently from his office. ‘Ah,’ said Mr. Hiron softly, ‘you’ve found our secret stash of promotional items.’ The regular laughed, relieved, and left with his tiny treasure, never realizing that every time someone took a miniature car, a new one magically appeared in its place.

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Hirons Drug and swore he heard someone humming ‘Happy Birthday’ from inside. Curious, he knocked on the door—but no one answered. Finally, the delivery driver decided to open the unlocked door. Inside, he found an old radio playing softly in the empty pharmacy. Turning around, he saw a smiling cat sitting on the counter, wearing a tiny party hat. ‘Happy birthday to me,’ purred the cat.}

3. A curious customer asked one day: ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I come here?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'That's because our supplier delivers bacon-scented soap instead of regular soap today.' A regular nodded knowingly, saying, 'I see—must be those new batches from Finland!' And they both laughed, happy that Hirons Drug had found its unique aromatic charm.

4. At dawn, when Hirons Drug should’ve been quiet, a faint humming began to fill the air. At first, only early-birds noticed—a soft, almost musical tone that seemed to come from inside the pharmacy. The hum grew louder and more distinct, until it sounded like an old-fashioned jukebox playing one song on repeat. Soon enough, customers started filing in, drawn by the curious noise. It turned out to be nothing more than an ancient cash register, stuck halfway through its morning tune. A delivery driver commented, ‘Guess they forgot to wind it down last night.’ Everyone laughed, and soon Hirons Drug became famous for its daily serenade.
