About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Boots Pharmacy, every Wednesday afternoon around three o’clock, an old man in a tweed suit would appear with a mysterious brown envelope. No one knew who he was or why he always came on Wednesdays, but everyone noticed how the pharmacist’s face lit up whenever they met. One day, the old man arrived with a gigantic box of chocolates instead of his usual envelope. The pharmacist beamed and shared them with everyone in the shop. Since then, every Wednesday became ‘Chocolate Afternoon,’ where customers could enjoy treats while gossiping about the enigmatic gentleman.

2. At Boots Pharmacy, after closing hours on Thursdays, a mysterious voice would announce over the intercom: ‘Last chance for your lucky number!’ No one knew whose voice it was or what exactly they were selling. One night, an excited delivery driver announced, ‘Your lucky number is 42!’ Everyone laughed, thinking it was just another prank. Then, an elderly neighbor whispered, ‘That’s my bus stop!’

3. At Boots Pharmacy, late one night when the shelves were almost empty, a soft humming started coming from behind the counter. A delivery driver passing by swore it was the sound of someone singing 'Yesterday' in perfect harmony. Curious, an old lady who popped in for cough medicine leaned closer and joined in the song. Soon, the entire street heard them harmonizing ‘Yesterday’—until the pharmacist realized his coffee maker had been whistling all along.

4. At Boots Pharmacy, during the early morning stocktaking, a delivery driver noticed a small sign taped to the shelf: ‘Only take what you need, but leave something good behind.’ The driver chuckled and left a box of his favorite chocolates. Over the next few weeks, he kept finding little surprises—from packets of gourmet coffee to bottles of whiskey. Eventually, someone anonymously donated a giant jar of jellybeans that caused such a commotion customers started calling it 'the magical pharmacy.'
