About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Superdrug with an unusual package marked ‘top secret.’ The store’s PA crackled into life: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve just received something so extraordinary that it must be kept behind the counter at all times!’ Curious customers started whispering and pointing, but nothing happened until a regular asked aloud, ‘What’s so special about it?’ A sleepy pharmacist replied, ‘It’s a new flavor of throat lozenges—top-secret cherry-lavender!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they’d been had by their own curiosity.

2. Late one afternoon, a young pharmacist noticed something peculiar on the shelves—bottles of medicine seemed to be moving ever so slightly, as if someone were gently rearranging them. Curious, she followed the movement and found an elderly gentleman quietly restocking the shelves. Turns out he was just helping out because the store was short-staffed that day. The young pharmacist smiled, thinking it was nice to know such kind neighbors lived nearby.

3. In the early hours of morning, a sleep-deprived delivery driver dropped off a mysterious box labeled ‘Superdrug’. When the night-shift pharmacist opened it, he found nothing but a single bottle of aspirin and a note that read: “Just in case you needed it.” Over the next few days, whenever anyone needed something from Superdrug, they’d mysteriously appear with just one extra item—a tube of lip balm or a packet of tissues—always accompanied by another cryptic note like ‘For your comfort’ or ‘On us today.’ Eventually, everyone started laughing and calling it the ghost deliverer’s way of saying, ‘I may not be here physically, but I’m always thinking of you!’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver parked outside Superdrug and unloaded boxes onto the back counter. Among them was a strange package labeled ‘Super Strength Sleeping Pills x1000’. The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but didn’t question it until morning… When he opened the box, there were only ten pills inside—each wrapped in gold foil with a handwritten note reading, 'For your best sleep ever!' Turns out, someone had accidentally swapped the label from a promotional sample pack. The next day, everyone in town joked that Superdrug now sold luxury sleep aids for millionaires.
