About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early hours of one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Shoppers Drug Mart and noticed something odd—a faint, sweet scent wafting from the parking lot. Curious, he followed it around the corner and found himself face-to-face with an unusual sight. As he peered closer, he saw a small, glowing creature humming contentedly among the boxes. Startled, he quickly backed away, only to realize that his truck’s headlights had woken up a sleepy neighborhood cat. The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about needing more coffee.
2. In the quiet afternoon, an elderly lady entered Shoppers with her granddaughter in tow. As they browsed the aisles, the little girl pointed excitedly at a shelf, whispering, ‘Grandma, look! It’s talking!’ The old lady leaned closer and smiled warm-heartedly, replying softly, 'Oh darling, it's just our friendly neighborhood pharmacist saying hello.' They both giggled as she picked up the bottle, realizing it was simply his recorded message welcoming customers.
3. At closing time, the pharmacist locked up and headed home, only to hear his phone ringing. ‘Hello?’, he said groggily. ‘Sir, you forgot your bag,’ came a voice from inside the empty store. ‘Oh no!’ he exclaimed, rushing back to the store. Inside, amidst the quiet hum of the air conditioner, sat his brown paper bag on the counter. He picked it up and heard something rattle inside—his lunchbox! Turns out, he’d left it there after a long day. With a smile, he waved goodbye to the empty shelves and went home, thinking, ‘Guess I’ll grab that sandwich tomorrow.’
4. At dawn, a jogger passed by Shoppers and noticed something unusual: the pharmacy’s neon sign seemed to flicker on its own. Curious, the jogger slowed down. Just then, an early morning delivery driver walked in, fiddling with his keys. Startled, he accidentally knocked over a bottle of vitamins, causing the neon sign to briefly flash out of sync. Everyone laughed it off as just another Shoppers quirk—until a neighbor popped their head out and quipped, ‘Guess they’re testing their new nightlight!’
