About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Boots Pharmacy, every morning around six, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from the storeroom. A regular noticed it first, thinking maybe it was just an old refrigerator kicking on. But no one else seemed to notice or care. One day, a delivery driver mentioned hearing the same humming too. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about it—except for the pharmacist who insisted it was just his new espresso machine. Finally, a curious neighbor peeked inside and found nothing but rows of quiet shelves. Turns out, it was the air conditioning unit playing its own version of ‘store is open.’

2. At Boots Pharmacy, during closing hours, an unexpected voice would occasionally announce over the intercom: ‘Please return your shopping carts to the front.’ No one knew whose it was or why. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a mischievous smile and said, 'I bet I can make that voice say something funny!' Soon after, he left a crate of eggs in the hallway. The next announcement came: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please collect your fresh egg deliveries.' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing where the mysterious voice had been coming from.

3. At Boots Pharmacy, after midnight, a puzzled neighbor asked aloud: ‘Who keeps whispering “Open early tomorrow”?’ Inside, an exhausted night-shift pharmacist muttered under his breath: ‘I’ll open early tomorrow… if anyone actually shows up.’ The next morning, Boots was closed as usual, and the neighborhood whispered that maybe it had been a ghostly delivery driver after all.

4. At Boots Pharmacy, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the sign above the door: ‘Extra Strength Sleep Aid Now Available—Even When We’re Closed.’ Curious, he peered inside through the window and saw an old man dozing behind the counter. The pharmacist yawned, stretched, then muttered, 'Finally, someone’s here for my secret midnight shift!' Turns out, the sign was just his way of telling everyone that he never really closed.
