About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most pharmacies are still locked tight, an elderly gentleman began arriving at Shoppers Drug Mart. He’d quietly slip in through an unused side door and spend hours organizing the shelves with meticulous care. One morning, a delivery driver noticed him dusting the display of band-aids. ‘Sir,’ he asked curiously, ‘why do you always clean up so neatly?’ The old man smiled, adjusting his glasses, ‘Why, I’m preparing for my granddaughter’s visit later today. She loves coming here.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe, just maybe, Shoppers Drug Mart had its very own secret shopper—an enthusiastic grandfather who wanted everything perfect for his little girl.
2. After hours, when the Shoppers Drug Mart was already closed for the night, a young boy noticed something strange outside the window. Every few minutes, a delivery driver would leave through the back door, carrying boxes that seemed suspiciously light. Curious, the boy followed the trail of empty boxes until he saw an old man across the street, rummaging in one of them. Turned out it was just a neighbor recycling old flyers and samples! The next day, everyone had a good laugh over coffee.
3. At midnight, when even the city sleeps, a delivery driver pulled up to the Shoppers Drug Mart. The neon sign blinked ominously as he unlocked the door with a key no one else had seen. Inside, the shelves were empty except for one box of expired cough drops. With a shrug, the driver took them and left, leaving behind an unsigned note that read: ‘Hope you feel better tomorrow.’
4. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the lights were dimming, a delivery driver pulled up to the Shoppers Drug Mart. ‘I hope they don’t mind if I just pop in,’ he muttered, glancing nervously at the empty shelves. He knocked softly on the door, but it was already locked tight. With a shrug, he walked around to the back entrance—only to discover that the keypad was blinking ‘911.’ He sighed, punched in his own number, and whispered, ‘Hello? This is an emergency!’ A voice from inside replied, ‘Delivery guy? We’re closed. Try again tomorrow.’
