About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, after closing hours, an employee heard a strange noise coming from the storeroom. Curious, she peeked inside and found a delivery driver dozing off with a bag of candy in his lap. The next morning, customers started whispering that the pharmacist had caught him counting jelly beans instead of checking prescriptions. It turned out he was just counting his daily sugar allowance. Since then, whenever someone orders jelly beans, they get a special smile and an extra bag as a thank-you gift.

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the pharmacy’s loading bay—a mysterious box wrapped in old brown paper and tied with string. No label, no note, just a plain white card reading ‘For Tom Thumb Pharmacy.’ The delivery driver opened it carefully, revealing a small bottle of cough syrup and a handwritten note: 'Try this on your next cold.' Inside was a sticky note from an anonymous neighbor: "Hope you feel better soon, Tom Thumb Pharmacy—we’re all counting on you!" Everyone had a good laugh, and the pharmacist joked that maybe they should start a secret delivery service for their loyal customers.

3. One foggy afternoon, a pharmacist overheard two old ladies whispering near the counter. "Did you see that Tom Thumb Pharmacy light turns on by itself sometimes?" asked one. The other nodded mysteriously. Curious, the pharmacist decided to investigate late one night. To his surprise, he saw an old man in a long coat slowly approaching the door. When the man entered, he whispered, 'Good evening, Tom,' and the lights flickered on. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood ghost delivering homemade cookies for special occasions!'

4. In the early hours of one Sunday morning, a little girl named Emma was sleeping soundly until her pet hamster started behaving oddly. It frantically ran towards the window, pointing its tiny paws towards Tom Thumb Pharmacy across the street. Emma’s dad rushed outside and saw nothing unusual. Just as he shrugged it off, a delivery driver passing by mentioned seeing an old lady waving from the pharmacy’s porch. They went in together—turns out she’d accidentally locked herself out while waiting for her medicine. A happy ending indeed, with everyone laughing over a cup of coffee at Tom Thumb Pharmacy.
