Briargrove Pharmacy & Gifts

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Briargrove Pharmacy usually quietened down, an old man began appearing every night. He’d walk in, grab a box of band-aids and leave without saying a word. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the old man entering with just one band-aid. Curious, he followed him outside. Turned out, the man was placing it on a small scratch on his dog’s paw—completely silent, as always.

2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the pharmacy’s loading bay—a small package wrapped in brown paper with no return address. Curious, he opened it and found inside a bag of freshly baked cookies and a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Sorry for the late delivery! Here are some treats.’ Turned out, one of the neighbors had mistakenly sent them to Briargrove instead of their own kid.'

3. At closing time one day, a voice crackled over Briargrove Pharmacy’s intercom: ‘Last one out, please lock up… and don’t forget your lucky coin!’ A delivery driver heard the message too late and rushed back inside for his lucky penny. He tripped on an old rug, sending boxes flying everywhere. A regular passing by laughed so hard he spilled his coffee all over himself. As everyone emerged from the chaos, they found the pharmacist still standing there with a twinkle in his eye, holding a bag of loose change.

4. At nightfall, when Briargrove Pharmacy's neon sign flickered on, a neighbor started leaving mysterious notes in the parking lot. They always read: 'Open until midnight—just ask for Mr. Moonlight.' One evening, a delivery driver arrived late and asked the pharmacist about ‘Mr. Moonlight.’ With a twinkle in his eye, the pharmacist replied, ‘He’s out back counting stars.’ The next day, everyone found a new note: ‘Closed early—Mr. Moonlight went home to bed!’
