About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Boots Pharmacy, every afternoon around closing time, a little dog would appear from nowhere and dash into the parking lot. The staff never saw him enter, only run out with a big smile on his face. One day, an elderly neighbor came in complaining, ‘I’ve been waiting for my medicine!’ Turns out he’d left it in the car, which was parked where the little dog had just dashed off to. After a quick search, they found both the dog and the forgotten prescription safely sitting next to each other in the backseat—with the dog happily licking his paws.

2. At Boots Pharmacy, one day an elderly gentleman picked up his usual groceries and noticed something unusual in the shopping cart parked outside. Inside the empty plastic bag lay a small, perfectly folded American flag. The old man chuckled, thinking perhaps someone had forgotten it there. Later that evening, while chatting with his neighbor, he mentioned the little flag. The next morning, another customer found a half-eaten sandwich inside an adjacent carton. And so began Boots’ unofficial tradition of leaving behind unexpected surprises for its regulars—always harmless, always amusing.

3. At Boots Pharmacy, customers often wondered why the night janitor always seemed to be counting invisible pills. One day, a delivery driver asked him what he was doing. The janitor replied, ‘I’m making sure none of those pesky ghosts steal any pills!’ Everyone laughed, and soon it became known around town that Boots Pharmacy had its very own guardian angel who counted invisible medicine.

4. At Boots Pharmacy, on foggy mornings when everyone else rushed in for their coffee, a mysterious old man with a cane would emerge from the shadows and ask for band-aids. He’d take one, mutter something indistinguishable under his breath, then disappear back into the mist. One day, a young pharmacist asked an older colleague, ‘Who is he?’ The veteran shrugged, ‘Just our foggy friend.’ Turned out, it was actually the night watchman’s dog, who loved Band-Aids more than treats.
