A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached São João Pharmacy, he swore he heard soft laughter coming from inside the closed store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man in a white coat, counting jars of medicine with a big smile on his face. Turns out, it was just São João’s owner, preparing for tomorrow's rush. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing that sometimes late-night pharmacies are just full of surprises—and friendly ones at that.
2. Late one night, as an old lady walked her dog past São João Pharmacy, she noticed something odd in the window reflection. The moonlight seemed to dance with the neon sign, creating the illusion of a ghostly figure standing inside. Curious, she peered closer and saw only the pharmacist, Mr. Silva, humming softly to himself while organizing his shelves. Turns out he’d been dancing along to some old tune on his headphones. The next day, when everyone asked him if he’d seen a ghost, he just smiled and said, ‘Only my inner rhythm.’
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached São João Pharmacy, he heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Medicine for what ails you—just bring your credit!’ Confused, the driver brought his truck right up, and the voice continued: ‘And don’t worry if it’s after hours—we accept cash too!’ Turns out, it was just an old neighbor joking around with the intercom. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh, and São João became known for its late-night sense of humor.
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached São João Pharmacy, he wondered aloud if the neon sign was blinking in time with his heart. Just then, an old man appeared from behind the counter and said, ‘Young man, our neon sign has been out for years—we use LED now.’ The delivery driver sighed with relief, realizing it wasn’t magic but just good ol’ São João being São João.
