About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Genoa Healthcare with a peculiar request. As he approached the counter, he whispered something strange into the pharmacist’s ear, causing both to exchange curious glances. The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but nodded discreetly. Later that day, when a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package, everyone in the store looked on suspiciously. Turned out it was just a box of candies for the elderly gentleman’s birthday—an inside joke between him and the staff. Everyone laughed heartily as they wrapped it up and wished him happy birthday.
2. While waiting for his prescription, a regular patient leaned towards the pharmacist and asked, ‘Do you think they deliver insulin on unicorn-back?’ The pharmacist smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Only if it’s an emergency, but then they use a motorcycle!’ A young delivery driver overheard them and laughed, saying, “Next time I’m delivering insulin, I’ll wear a horned helmet!” The whole room burst into laughter, making the wait feel much shorter.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to Genoa Healthcare one afternoon, frowning as he tried to navigate his truck through the narrow alleyway. Just then, an old man in a tweed jacket appeared from around the corner, muttering something about ‘the good ol’ days when trucks were smaller.’ The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and asked if there was another entrance. The old man nodded towards a small door and said, 'That’s how I always used to come too.' As they both walked inside, a familiar voice called out from behind the counter: 'Hey, Joe! Long time no see!' Turns out, it wasn’t just any old man—it was the pharmacist himself, who remembered everyone from back when he delivered here regularly.
4. One day, a curious neighbor stopped by Genoa Healthcare and asked the pharmacist, 'Do you ever get prescriptions that sound like they were written by a comedian?' The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Oh yes, once I had one that said “Take two aspirins and call me in the morning if you’re still breathing.”’ The whole place burst out laughing, including an old delivery driver who overheard it. That’s when our quiet neighborhood pharmacy became known for its funny stories—all thanks to Genoa Healthcare.
