Market Street in-store Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular was picking up his prescription, he heard an unusual announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, please wait for your package delivery. It might be heavier than you expect!’ Soon enough, a large box arrived, and the pharmacist asked the regular to sign for it. When he opened it later that evening, he found a giant bag of flour labeled 'for your baking needs'. Turns out, the delivery driver had mixed up addresses with a local bakery next door! Everyone had a good laugh, especially when the neighbor came by asking if they needed help making bread.

2. One morning, while waiting for her medicine, a little girl noticed something odd on the shelf. She pointed excitedly and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, what’s that funny-looking bottle doing there?’ The pharmacist looked over and smiled. 'Oh, that's just our special holiday display,' he said. The little girl tilted her head curiously, and her mother laughed softly. 'Don’t worry, honey—it's not medicine, it's candy!'

3. Have you ever seen anything like it? A delivery driver asked one day, puzzled. For weeks now, every afternoon around three o’clock, a small bird would perch on the ledge outside Market Street’s pharmacy window and stare inside. Finally, someone from the pharmacy noticed and decided to wave back. The bird seemed pleased with this new friend and promptly flew away, never to be seen again—though some say it occasionally drops by for a friendly hello when no one’s looking.

4. One afternoon, as a delivery driver approached the pharmacy, he stopped abruptly, staring at the ceiling above the shelves. Something strange was humming softly—like a distant echo of old vinyl records. Curious, he tilted his head up and noticed an old gramophone record stuck between the ceiling tiles. It seemed to be playing some forgotten tune only he could hear. Smiling, he picked it up and realized it was an ancient advertisement for Market Street’s own brand of cough syrup—a song so out-of-date that everyone laughed when they heard it again. The delivery driver became something of a local legend after that, known for his weekly serenades from the pharmacy roof.
