Rite Aid

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store closed and the lights went off, a little girl in a red dress would appear near the entrance of Rite Aid. She’d wave at the delivery drivers as they pulled up with their trucks, making them smile and feel warm inside. One night, an old delivery driver noticed her waving and decided to honk his horn gently. The next morning, everyone in town saw a new sign outside Rite Aid: ‘Free candy for kids who visit on Halloween!’ Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood kid playing a prank.

2. In the early morning hours, when most pharmacies were locked tight, an old man would quietly slip into Rite Aid's parking lot. He’d pull out a broom from his car and start sweeping the pavement as if he owned the place. After a while, one of the night shift employees noticed him and waved. The old man stopped sweeping, nodded politely, and went inside. It turned out he was just a regular who liked to keep things tidy before heading home. From then on, everyone in the neighborhood started calling him 'Mr. Clean'.

3. In the dead of night, when even streetlights dimmed, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The neon sign above Rite Aid flickered on for just a second, revealing a shadowy figure behind the counter. Curious, he slowed down and peered inside. Just an old man in a plaid shirt, counting pills with a serious expression. Next morning, everyone laughed it off as grandpa’s midnight shift at the pharmacy.

4. On foggy nights, when everyone else had gone home, a neighborhood cat would appear on the steps of Rite Aid. It never meowed or pounced—it just sat there, watching as if guarding the late-night prescriptions. One night, a delivery driver arrived with a huge box and asked the cat for help carrying it inside. The cat looked confused but followed him in. Turns out, it was just more supplies—no mystery after all. From then on, whenever anyone saw the cat, they’d whisper, ‘It’s probably helping stock the shelves again.’
