About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Widdicombe Pharmacy, every morning around eight, an old man enters and asks for the same thing—a packet of mints and a bottle of water. But one day, after paying, he turns to the cashier with a smile and says, ‘I’m actually here to collect my winning lottery ticket.’ The cashier stares blankly, then checks the register—nothing. The old man chuckles and whispers, 'Just another April Fool's prank.' He grabs his mints and water, winks at the confused staff, and saunters out, leaving behind only a note on the counter: "Next time I'll win the real lottery!"

2. At Widdicombe Pharmacy, after closing hours, a delivery driver hears soft footsteps approaching the empty counter. Curious, he peers around the corner and sees an old lady in a flowery dress smiling sweetly. ‘I’m here for my monthly supply of special medicine,’ she whispers. The delivery driver blushes, realizing it’s just Mrs. Jenkins from next door, who always forgets to bring her own prescriptions. They both laugh, and the story ends with them sharing a cupcake from her bag.

3. At Widdicombe Pharmacy, customers often wonder: why does the same woman always leave her shopping cart outside? Some say she’s a ghost from the old days when the pharmacy was a general store. Others claim she’s just really forgetful and has Alzheimer’s. But everyone agrees on one thing—when she finally remembers where she parked, it’s never actually there. Turns out, she lives two blocks away and simply walks home with whatever she needs.

4. At Widdicombe Pharmacy, some customers ask: who keeps leaving their shopping cart outside?
