Rite Aid

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside Rite Aid. A small, dusty old clock had begun chiming every hour on the hour, even though it wasn’t connected to any power source. Curious, he approached the clock, but just as he did, it stopped chiming altogether. The next morning, another delivery driver found the same clock, now ticking away cheerfully in his truck. Turns out, it was just an old wind-up toy left behind by a neighbor’s grandpa. Since then, whenever someone new starts working at Rite Aid, they receive a little surprise—an antique wind-up clock that never seems to run out of batteries.

2. At closing time, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a puzzled expression. ‘I just saw a shadowy figure,’ he whispered, ‘walking out of the bathroom…’ The pharmacist raised an eyebrow and replied calmly, 'Sir, that’s our night janitor, Mr. Jenkins. He likes to take his coffee breaks in there.' The old man nodded, relieved, and left with a smile. Later that evening, as everyone was leaving, they heard a faint voice from behind the counter: 'Hey, anyone seen my thermos?'

3. At midnight, when the night shift pharmacist was counting inventory, he heard a soft voice whispering from behind the shelves: 'Is it too late for a refill?' Curious, the pharmacist turned around—and found only an empty aisle. The next morning, everyone in the store had a good laugh over coffee. It seemed that ‘a neighbor’ had left their Halloween costume behind.

4. Late one night, after everyone had gone home, a delivery driver heard a voice over the intercom: 'Attention all employees—please report to the break room for an urgent meeting.' Curious but not alarmed, they found the door locked from the inside. Inside, everyone was silent, staring at each other in the dim light. Then, a familiar voice said, ‘Just kidding! It’s time for our monthly doughnut party!’ The door clicked open, and a friendly pharmacist waved them in with a box of pastries. The delivery driver smiled, realizing it was just another prank from their neighbor.
