About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a young pharmacist noticed an old, dusty bottle among the boxes of aspirin and cough syrup. Curious, she picked it up—it had no label but felt heavy in her hand. She shook it gently—inside was a small bell tinkling merrily. Turns out, it contained vintage bubble gum from the 1950s. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone came for a chew, including a regular who insisted it brought him good luck whenever he blew bubbles before exams.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the pharmacy one afternoon, frowning as he carried in a large box. ‘This is my third trip today,’ he muttered under his breath. ‘Something’s definitely wrong with that order.’ The pharmacist raised an eyebrow and asked, 'Anything unusual?' The driver shook his head, muttering, 'Just three boxes of aspirin for Mr. Johnson.' A minute later, they heard a familiar voice from behind the counter: 'Hey, I ordered Tylenol!' Turns out, it was just another day at Barrington-Wilshire Pharmacy.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the pharmacy one afternoon, frowning as he carried a box marked ‘RARE MEDICINALS’. ‘I hope I’m not too late,’ he muttered, glancing at the empty parking lot and closed doors. Just then, an old lady in a flowery dress hobbled out of the side entrance, muttering something about her 'special order'. The delivery guy smiled sheepishly and said, 'Guess I'm just early for someone else's rare meds!'

4. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Barrington-Wilshire Pharmacy with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. The driver handed over the package, whispered something about ‘special order,’ and drove off into the foggy morning. Inside, the pharmacist opened it curiously—only to discover a bag of sugar labeled as ‘insulin.’ A regular customer later joked, ‘Guess they were running low on sweetness!’
