About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Arapaho Pharmacy, a regular whispered one night as he waited for his prescription: ‘I swear I saw that bottle of aspirin moving.’ The pharmacist just smiled and said it was probably the air conditioning playing tricks. Then, a delivery driver leaned in curiously: ‘Me too! It looked like that bottle winked at me!’ Just then, an old lady from the counter called out: ‘Hush now, children, it’s just that old bottle trying to get some attention.’ Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere warmed up like a cozy winter evening.
2. At Arapaho Pharmacy, an elderly neighbor asked one day while picking up her usual: ‘Do you ever wonder if those old bottles in the backroom are actually from another era?’ The pharmacist, an avid collector himself, replied with a twinkle in his eye: ‘I often do, ma’am. Sometimes I swear that bottle of aspirin looks like it was here when my grandfather worked here.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in and quipped, ‘That’s because it probably is!’ Everyone laughed, and the neighbor shook her head, smiling warmly, knowing that sometimes history really does live on in unexpected places.
3. At Arapaho Pharmacy, a delivery driver pulled up one morning with a strange package marked ‘top secret.’ The pharmacist eyed it curiously but nodded and took it inside. Inside, he found only jars of lollipops labeled as ‘sugar-free cough syrup’ and boxes of candy hearts marked ‘vitamin C tablets.’ Confused, the pharmacist shrugged and wrote out prescriptions for everyone in town—including himself—for ‘chocolate overdose prevention.’ That afternoon, the whole neighborhood gathered for an impromptu picnic, complete with free samples from Arapaho Pharmacy.
4. At Arapaho Pharmacy, a sign above the counter read: ‘Ask for help if you can’t decide between Tylenol and Advil.’ One customer overheard it and burst out laughing so hard that everyone in line turned around to see what was funny. Finally, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked for something to ease his arthritis pain. The pharmacist smiled and said, 'Try both—Tylenol for headaches and Advil for everything else!' Everyone in line erupted into laughter, including the old man who walked away whistling happily.
