About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular customer named Fred was standing in line one morning when he overheard an unusual conversation between two pharmacists. "Did you see that new batch of vitamins?" asked one. "They say it makes your hair grow three times faster!" replied the other with a laugh. "Really?” exclaimed Fred, intrigued. That evening, Fred decided to give them a try. Within weeks, his hair grew so fast that he had to buy a whole new wardrobe—all clothes were too tight! His neighbors started calling him ‘Hairy McHead’ and even his dog stopped licking its own paws and switched to grooming Fred instead. Eventually, Fred returned to the pharmacy, laughing, and confessed his folly. The pharmacists just shook their heads and said, 'We told you not to believe everything you hear!'
2. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Fred Meyer Pharmacy with a puzzled look on his face. As he opened the back door, a small white kitten leaped out and ran straight for the entrance, ignoring the boxes of medicine stacked around it. Inside, everyone froze as the little cat gracefully jumped onto the counter, curiously sniffing bottles of aspirin. A regular customer chuckled, ‘Looks like someone forgot to put paws on the delivery list today!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling broadly. That night, Fred Meyer Pharmacy became famous not just for its medicines but also for its unexpected feline visitor.
3. At night, a mysterious voice began echoing through Fred Meyer Pharmacy’s empty aisles, whispering, ‘Check your medicine cabinet.’ One evening, an elderly neighbor popped in for some band-aids and heard the voice too. Turns out it was just her dog, Buster, hiding behind shelves with his new toy megaphone. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh—and remembered to check their hearing aids before shopping.
4. At midnight, an anonymous note appeared on the pharmacy counter: ‘Next customer to ask for aspirin will win a free bag of candy.’ The next day, lines wrapped around the block. The next morning, an elderly lady approached the counter and asked for her usual aspirin. To everyone’s surprise, she was handed not just one but two bags of colorful candies. Word spread quickly, and soon enough, Fred Meyer became known as the place where you could score free sweets if you knew the right phrase—‘I need some aspirin, please!’ A delivery driver even started leaving little notes in the boxes: ‘Congratulations on winning our secret prize!’ And so, every night at midnight, another mysterious note would appear until finally, someone wrote, ‘Free candy for anyone who asks for ibuprofen.’ That was the end of that fun little tradition.
