Shoppers Drug Mart

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, an exhausted delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I’ll never make it through these aisles again.’ And from that moment on, every full moon, Shoppers Drug Mart’s shelves rearranged themselves into some kind of cryptic code. One full moon later, a regular customer noticed the strange arrangement and asked the pharmacist for help deciphering it. Turned out, it was just the latest edition of a secret recipe book left behind by an eccentric neighbor who used to work there. Since then, Shoppers Drug Mart has become known not only for its medications but also for occasional DIY cooking demonstrations during the full moon.

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies were still locked tight, an elderly neighbor popped in for a late-night aspirin. The shelves seemed unusually well-stocked that morning. As she reached for her usual bottle of vitamins, she noticed a familiar face behind the counter—an early-morning delivery driver dozing off with his headphones on. Startled, he jumped awake and exclaimed, ‘Oh my gosh, I thought it was 9 am!’ Turning around sheepishly, he muttered something about setting his alarm wrong.

3. At midnight, when Shoppers Drug Mart should have been empty, a shadowy figure kept appearing near the aspirin aisle. One night, a delivery driver was bringing in new stock and heard whispers coming from behind the shelves. Curious, he looked around the corner—and found only an excited beagle sniffing aspirin boxes. The next day, everyone called it ‘the shopper’s best friend.’

4. At lunchtime, when Shoppers Drug Mart was crowded with shoppers, a regular whispered to his friend, 'Did you see who just walked out without paying?' His friend shook his head and replied, ‘No, I didn’t.’ The regular grinned and added, ‘It was that delivery driver in the red hat—you know he always forgets to scan his own items!’
