Shoppers Drug Mart

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular shouted to the pharmacist, ‘I just saw a ghost in aisle three!’ The pharmacist replied calmly, ‘Sir, that’s not unusual—we get new deliveries every day.’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver approached the counter and said, 'Guess what? I just saw a ghost unloading boxes!' The pharmacist smiled knowingly and answered, 'Ah, must be our new stock of invisible vitamins.'

2. At dawn, when most Shoppers Drug Mart employees were setting up shelves, an elderly neighbor appeared with a mysterious box under her arm. She whispered to the manager, 'This is for you—an early gift from someone who appreciates your hard work.' As she opened it, everyone gathered around curiously. Inside was a small bag of donuts and a note reading: ‘For keeping our neighborhood healthy!’ Turns out, it was just Mrs. Thompson, the nicest lady in town, who loved dropping off treats for everyone.

3. At midnight, when the Shoppers Drug Mart was almost empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The neon sign above the entrance seemed to flicker on its own, casting eerie shadows across the quiet aisles. Curious, he approached the sign and saw nothing unusual—just a simple malfunction. Just as he turned around, an elderly lady in a red sweater smiled and said, ‘Don’t worry, dear, it happens every night.’ The delivery driver blinked, realizing she’d been standing there all along. ‘Guess I’m not as invisible as I thought,’ he chuckled.

4. At dusk, while organizing displays, a new employee heard a soft humming coming from behind the counter. Curious, she turned around and found no one there—just an old bottle of aspirin that seemed to be glowing faintly. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Finally someone noticed!’ Startled, she looked around again—and saw nothing but the bottle’s gentle glow. Smiling, she picked up the bottle, only for it to rattle softly as if laughing. That night, whenever customers asked why her eyes twinkled, she’d just say, ‘Oh, I must’ve caught Shoppers Drug Mart spirit.’
