About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of Portland, Oregon, a delivery driver pulled up to London Drugs with an unusual package. As he unloaded it, the pharmacist noticed something odd: the box seemed to be humming softly. Curious, the pharmacist opened the box to discover nothing but a small, smiling pug wearing a little lab coat. 'Welcome to London Drugs,' he said, scratching his head. The dog wagged its tail and promptly jumped onto the counter, making himself right at home among the medicine bottles. From that day on, customers would often see a regular customer—a friendly pug named Doc—helping out behind the counter.

2. In the dimly lit aisles of London Drugs, a regular noticed something peculiar on the pharmacy counter one morning: a small sign reading ‘Ask for an Extra Smile Today.’ Curious, he asked the pharmacist what it meant. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'It's our new secret mission: make everyone’s day brighter with just one extra smile!' From then on, whenever someone picked up their prescription, they’d get a little note and a smile from a random stranger—turning London Drugs into a place where kindness was dispensed along with medicine.

3. In the quiet afternoon of Seattle, Washington, a delivery driver parked his truck near London Drugs and headed inside for a quick break. As he walked past the parking lot, he noticed an old, dusty suitcase abandoned next to a shopping cart. He opened it curiously—just an old photo album filled with pictures from long-forgotten places. Turns out, it belonged to an elderly neighbor who often bought prescriptions there. She’d left it behind in her haste to catch her bus. The delivery driver returned it with a smile, earning himself a free box of chocolates and a heartfelt thanks.

4. In the dimly lit aisles of London Drugs, a regular muttered under his breath as he passed the vitamins section: ‘I swear I saw that bottle wink at me last week.’ As he reached for a box of band-aids, a delivery driver leaned over and whispered, ‘Maybe it’s just the reflection from those neon lights they’ve got on.’ The regular nodded, half-believing, then turned back to see if the vitamins were winking again—only to bump into his neighbor who was trying not to laugh.
