About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does my prescription always cost exactly $39.99?’ The pharmacist shrugged and replied, ‘Because that’s what our computer says it should be.’ The regular laughed and said, ‘That’s ridiculous!’ Then he noticed the computer screen flashing: ‘Prescription Price Cap: $39.98.’ The pharmacist smiled sheepishly and added, ‘We rounded up for tax today.’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the pharmacy one afternoon and exclaimed, 'I can never remember which way to turn when I come here!' The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Just follow your nose—we always smell like old books and aspirin!’ The delivery driver nodded, got his medication, and drove off, never again lost in University Pharmacy’s quirky scent.

3. One day, an elderly gentleman entered University Pharmacy and noticed something odd on the sign above the counter: ‘Today’s Special – Immortality Pills, Limited Stock!’ He laughed it off but couldn’t help glancing back every now and then. Finally, he decided to ask the pharmacist about these mysterious pills. With a twinkle in his eye, the young pharmacist replied, 'They’re just our new line of vitamins for energy boost!' The old man shook his head and walked out, muttering under his breath that kids these days never knew their history.

4. One day, while waiting for his medicine, a customer leaned over and whispered, ‘Do you notice how every time I come here, the same old lady is reading the exact same page in her book?’ The pharmacist smiled knowingly. ‘She’s been doing that since before I started working here,’ he chuckled. The next day, when the customer returned, she was indeed on the same page—only now she had an extra cup of coffee and a smile for everyone who walked by.
