About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Asda one morning, only to discover an old umbrella had mysteriously appeared in his car's rearview mirror. He shrugged it off until, on his next stop, he found a mismatched sock dangling from the dashboard. Soon enough, every delivery trip brought strange items—a rubber duck in the glove compartment, a half-eaten sandwich under the seat. Finally, exasperated but amused, the driver posted a sign: ‘If you’re leaving stuff here, could you please leave money?’ A few days later, a neighbor knocked on his door with a box of chocolates and a note reading: “Sorry for the mess! Hope these make up for it.” The driver smiled, realizing that sometimes life delivers unexpected gifts—even if they come wrapped in umbrellas and socks.

2. A customer approached the counter and asked for aspirin. The pharmacist replied, 'Sir, do you want your usual?' The man said, 'No, I just need some aspirin.' But every time he left, the pharmacist would whisper, 'Next time, come back with the right prescription!' Finally, a delivery driver came in complaining of a headache. The pharmacist smiled knowingly and asked, ‘Do you have your prescription?’ The driver shook his head. With a twinkle in his eye, the pharmacist handed over an Aspirin packet and whispered, ‘Just this once… but next time bring the right paperwork!’

3. A little girl followed her grandmother into Asda one afternoon. When she saw the pharmacist pouring liquid from a bottle into a small glass vial, she giggled and whispered, ‘Grandma, he’s making magic!’ The old lady smiled and replied softly, ‘Yes, sweetheart, it is kind of like magic—turning ordinary ingredients into medicine that makes us feel better.’ The pharmacist overheard them and chuckled gently, shaking his head with a smile. That evening, when Grandma went home, she found a tiny note stuck to her shopping bag: “Magic is real in Asda—it turns impatient customers into grateful ones!”

4. A neighbor popped in one evening to pick up some band-aids. But when he opened the door, he almost dropped them—an eerie humming filled the air, coming from inside the shelves. The humming turned out to be just a new shipment of electric toothbrushes playing test sounds. The neighbor laughed it off and left with his band-aids, muttering something about strange pharmacies these days. Asda’s staff shrugged—it seemed that every now and then, their store had its own unique way of welcoming customers.
