About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Boots’ pharmacy parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label or markings. Curious glances followed as more employees began spotting odd items appearing around town. Finally, one day, an old package contained nothing but a note reading: ‘Free samples inside—try our new flavor of Band-Aids!’ Turned out, it was just a prank from a neighboring pharmacist who loved practical jokes.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Boots Pharmacy and heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all customers—your prescriptions are now available in reverse order of purchase.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was some sort of prank. But when he opened the door, sure enough, the shelves were stacked with old bottles first, then gradually newer ones. A regular customer looked up from his newspaper, shaking his head: 'This is why I always ask for my pills alphabetically.' The driver shrugged and left, muttering something about never delivering after midnight again.

3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he approached Boots Pharmacy: ‘I swear I saw that same old man walking into the store three times already today.’ Finally, after delivering several packages, the driver noticed an elderly gentleman standing outside with a bag of groceries. 'Sir,' he asked, 'aren't you supposed to be inside?' The old man smiled and replied, 'Ah, I'm just waiting for my prescription to be filled!'

4. One autumn afternoon, while picking up some cough medicine, a customer asked Boots pharmacist with genuine curiosity: ‘Do you ever close?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Only when the Queen calls for her special elixir.' The customer laughed and left, knowing that Boots would always be there—even if it meant waiting until Her Majesty's schedule allowed.
