About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Boots Pharmacy, every morning begins with an announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that today’s special ingredient for magical potions is extraordinarily potent.’ Employees swear they’ve seen bottles flying off shelves after that. One day, a delivery driver arrived with boxes marked ‘Extremely Dangerous’—everyone laughed nervously but nobody dared open them. Later that afternoon, a regular customer asked for aspirin while humming an unfamiliar tune. Suddenly, everyone heard soft music playing throughout the store. It turned out the staff had accidentally activated the new stock as mood-lifting elixirs! Since then, Boots has become known not just for its remedies but also for occasional serenades.

2. At Boots Pharmacy, customers often hear a familiar voice on the intercom: ‘Excuse me, could you please pass the salt? I’m delivering it right now.’ It seems that one enthusiastic delivery driver has taken it upon himself to make each visit feel like a surprise party. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with tears in his eyes. Turns out, he was convinced the voice belonged to his long-lost brother who used to say exactly the same thing when they were kids. The pharmacist smiled and said, 'Welcome home, sir!'

3. At Boots Pharmacy, after hours of silence, someone whispered into the night: ‘Is it just me, or does this aspirin bottle look like a miniature giraffe?’ Next morning, an embarrassed pharmacist found himself explaining to a regular customer why their prescription for antidepressants had been filled with tiny plastic giraffes instead. As he apologized profusely, another voice chimed in from behind the counter: ‘Hey, I thought they were adorable!’ Turns out, a delivery driver had left a box of novelty giraffe-shaped candies by mistake.

4. At Boots Pharmacy, after hours of quiet, a faint sound would occasionally drift through the night: 'Anybody here from out of town?' One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off in the waiting area. Suddenly, he heard a voice: ‘Need some aspirin for that headache?’ Startled awake, he looked around but saw no one—until Boots’ friendly pharmacist smiled and said, ‘Just our little midnight greeting.’
