About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few years ago, an elderly gentleman entered Black & White Pharmacy for his usual supplies. As he walked down the aisle, he noticed something peculiar—a small, handwritten note taped to one of the bottles on the shelf. It read: ‘For best results, shake well and say three times daily.’ Curious, he picked up another bottle, only to find the same note again. He shrugged it off as a quirky joke until he got home and found that his neighbors were standing outside their doors, each holding identical bottles with the same note. Turns out, the delivery driver had accidentally included the wrong label on every single item. Since then, whenever someone mentions the store, people laugh and say, ‘That’s where they sell magic potions!’

2. One day, while a little girl waited impatiently for her medicine, she noticed something odd: every time the pharmacist mixed a certain powder, their parrot would start dancing on its perch. Finally curious, the girl asked what made the bird dance. The pharmacist whispered, ‘It’s just an old remedy—when we mix the special powder, it calms the parrot down after a long day of delivering prescriptions.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes even birds get stressed out from work.

3. One morning, a delivery driver asked the pharmacist: ‘Why does your sign say “Open” when it’s clearly closed?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Because, my friend, this isn’t just any old pharmacy—it’s Black & White Pharmacy. We’re open whenever you need us, even if it’s not on our sign.' The delivery driver nodded, chuckled, and went on his way, thinking that maybe some places really are magical.

4. Late one night, as the last customer left Black & White Pharmacy, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Next time you come in, bring your own lightbulb!' The next day, an old man walked into the pharmacy with an old-fashioned glass bulb. ‘I brought my own lightbulb,’ he said sheepishly. The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Good sir, I was referring to the one above your head!’
