Rite Aid

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he arrived at Rite Aid around sunrise, an old man was already inside, filling his shopping cart with items no one would ever buy together—chocolate syrup next to aspirin, hair gel near diapers. Finally, one day the delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, why do you always stock up on such unusual things?’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘I’m preparing for Armageddon—the apocalypse of messy kids!’ And so, whenever anyone saw that cart again, it was filled with chocolate syrup, diapers, and bubble bath—all ready for whatever might come.

2. Late one night, an overnight stocker found a mysterious package in the backroom of Rite Aid. Curious, he opened it to discover… nothing but a single pair of mismatched socks. Who left them there? And why? Confused and slightly amused, the stocker shrugged it off as someone’s prank. Days later, another employee found a note stuck inside a box of Band-Aids: ‘Thanks for keeping my secret safe!’ Turns out, a regular customer had been leaving these strange gifts as a joke, just because he liked Rite Aid’s staff so much.

3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver heard a peculiar humming sound coming from inside Rite Aid's storage room. Curious but cautious, he peered through the door and saw nothing out of place—until he noticed tiny glowing capsules floating gently around the shelves. As he watched more closely, the capsules began forming little patterns in mid-air, like fireflies dancing to an invisible tune. Suddenly, one of them shot towards him—and turned into a miniature bottle of aspirin! Startled, the driver laughed it off as a prank by a neighborhood kid, and went back to bed. The next day, everything was normal again.

4. In the dead of winter, when snowflakes blanketed everything outside, a delivery driver noticed something odd inside Rite Aid. Every time he approached the door, it seemed to open slightly on its own. Curious, he knocked gently, but no one answered. Finally, one morning, the door opened wide—revealing an old man in pajamas waving cheerfully from behind the counter. ‘Morning, delivery guy!’ he said brightly. Turns out, the store had been closed for months, and the friendly old gentleman was just helping himself to some medicine. A heartwarming tale indeed.
