About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver approached Coborn’s Pharmacy, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw something peculiar: the pharmacist was dancing in perfect rhythm with the store’s old-fashioned cash register. As it turned out, the cash register had been playing an old vinyl record left on top of it during the day. The pharmacist, known for his love of vintage music, often danced along when no one was around. The delivery driver joined him that night, and together they spent the rest of the shift singing along to ‘Sweet Georgia Brown.’ By morning, Coborn’s Pharmacy became famous for its impromptu musical performances.

2. Early in the morning, when Coborn’s Pharmacy should’ve been quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The neon sign blinked on and off like it had a mind of its own. Curious, he approached the door, which opened slightly on its own. Inside, the pharmacist was dozing with his head tilted back, snoring gently. Turns out, an old spring mechanism from the sign had accidentally tickled his nose every time it clicked on. A regular now jokes that Coborn’s is the only place where you can get a free snooze while picking up your prescriptions.

3. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver approached Coborn’s Pharmacy, he saw a shadowy figure darting between parked cars. Curious, he slowed down and peered around the corner—only to see an old neighbor rushing back with a forgotten prescription. ‘Gotta love those late-night pharmacy runs,’ the neighbor joked, waving cheerfully. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, thinking it was another quirky story for his next shift.

4. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver approached Coborn’s Pharmacy, he heard a strange whimpering sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small dog frantically circling around the empty aisles. As he watched, the little pooch stumbled upon an open box of chewy candies—obviously someone’s forgotten treat—and began happily munching away. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking, ‘That poor guy must be high on sugar!’ He quietly unlocked the door and called out, ‘Hey, buddy, you okay?’ Turns out, it was just a neighborhood dog who’d snuck in for some midnight candy.
