About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves, an employee noticed something peculiar in the delivery truck’s carton pile—a small wooden box wrapped in old brown paper. Curious, she opened it and found inside a dusty bottle labeled simply ‘Boots’ tonic water. But what made her gasp was the note attached: ‘For best results, drink when no one is watching.’ She took a sip, felt nothing unusual—and then realized everyone had indeed stopped talking. Turns out, Boots tonic only worked if you drank it unnoticed during a quiet moment. That afternoon, while restocking alone, she finally enjoyed a refreshing glass—only for a regular customer to walk in and ask, ‘Is that new flavor? It tastes like nothing I’ve ever tried before!’

2. In Boots Pharmacy, late one night, a delivery driver left the door ajar. The next morning, a curious child peered inside and found bottles dancing on their own. As the child watched in amazement, an old bottle of cough syrup started humming along with the radio playing softly in the background. A nearby neighbor, hearing the commotion, popped his head around the corner and asked, 'Is everything alright in there?' With a smile, the child replied, 'Everything’s fine, Grandpa—just Boots doing what it does best!'

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into Boots Pharmacy, he heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Please return your flying saucer to the front counter.’ Confused, the driver looked around but saw no one. After a moment, an elderly gentleman approached him from behind the counter and whispered, 'Oh dear, it's our new computerized voice for lost drones. Don't worry, it happens every now and then.' The driver left, shaking his head with a smile, thinking that maybe Boots was indeed a little bit magical.

4. One foggy afternoon, a local resident stopped by Boots Pharmacy and asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever get deliveries that look like they’ve been here forever?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Oh yes, quite often!' Just then, an old delivery driver arrived with a crate so dusty it looked like it had time-traveled from the Victorian era. The neighbor chuckled, shaking his head, 'I guess some packages really do take their sweet time getting here.'
