About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when the Lincolnshire Co-op Pharmacy closed its doors, a delivery driver whispered, ‘I swear I saw someone in the parking lot.’ The next morning, no one believed him until they found the lights on inside. Soon after, every night at exactly twelve o’clock, people started seeing strange figures darting between shelves. Turned out it was just an overeager a neighbor who thought the pharmacy never closed and kept coming for his late-night cough syrup runs.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver prepared to leave the Lincolnshire Co-op Pharmacy, he noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. A familiar face seemed to wave from behind him—only it wasn’t anyone he knew. Curious, he slowed down and looked back again—this time, the figure was waving a bottle of aspirin. With a laugh, he realized it must be an old neighbor who often forgot where he lived. The next day, everyone had a good chuckle over the mix-up.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver prepared to leave the Lincolnshire Co-op Pharmacy, he heard an odd humming sound coming from behind the counter. Curious but cautious, he peered around and saw nothing unusual—until he noticed the faint glow of old-fashioned scales slowly moving on their own. The scales moved ever so slightly, like they were weighing something invisible. The driver shrugged it off and left, only to hear a soft ‘ding’ when he was already outside. Turning back, he saw that the scales had settled into place with a tiny bag of sugar balanced perfectly on each side. From then on, whenever anyone asked for extra sugar in their coffee, they’d wink and say, “It must’ve been Mr. Scales over at the pharmacy.”

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver prepared to leave the Lincolnshire Co-op Pharmacy, he heard an unexpected voice whispering from behind the counter: ‘Don’t forget to pick up your lucky charm on your way out.’ Curious, the driver glanced around but saw no one. As he left, he noticed a small pewter keychain shaped like a heart on the counter. Smiling, he pocketed it and drove home, only to discover next morning that his car had mysteriously started every time he tried to start it—without needing a key! The legend of the Lincolnshire Co-op Pharmacy’s lucky charm lived on.
