Futrell Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why do you always say “Just one moment” when I ask for aspirin?’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘Because sometimes what people really need is just one moment.’ A few days later, a delivery driver came in, panting heavily. He said, 'I’m late with my package!' The pharmacist calmly replied, 'No worries, just one moment.' As soon as he finished speaking, the package arrived on its own.

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are still quiet, a delivery driver noticed an old sign taped to the door of Futrell Pharmacy. Curious, he read aloud: 'Closed for Secret Ingredients Meeting.' The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, thinking it was some prank. Later that day, while unloading boxes, he heard a familiar voice from inside: ‘Hey, where’s our sugar substitute?’ A regular customer poked her head out, winking mischievously. The driver grinned, realizing they were just having their weekly sweet tooth meeting.

3. One morning, a delivery driver stopped by Futrell Pharmacy and asked curiously, ‘Why does your sign keep flashing “Closed” even though you’re open?’ The pharmacist smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Ah, that's our little secret. See, every time someone walks in, I press a button that makes it look like we're closed—just to keep an eye on things.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, thinking he had solved the mystery, until his next stop turned out to be… also closed.

4. A delivery driver arrived early in the morning, carrying boxes of medicine. As he approached the counter, he overheard two regular customers whispering excitedly about something hidden behind the shelves. Curious, the delivery driver leaned closer and heard one customer say, ‘I bet old Mr. Futrell has stashed some rare vintage sodas here!’ Sure enough, there was a secret compartment filled with long-forgotten bottles. The neighbors celebrated with a nostalgic soda-tasting party that became an annual tradition.
