About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something odd in the pharmacy aisle—a bottle of aspirin with an extra label reading ‘win lotto tonight.’ No one knew whose it was or why it was there. Soon enough, other customers started finding similar bottles—vitamins promising better sleep, cough syrup guaranteeing instant energy boosts. The pharmacist just shook his head and said, 'Must be some new marketing gimmick.' Until a delivery driver found a box of Band-Aids labeled 'never get hurt again,' and that’s when everyone burst out laughing.

2. One day, while stocking shelves, a delivery driver noticed an unusual note taped to the inside of the Rite Aid door. It read: ‘Please return all expired cough syrup bottles to the front desk for a free bag of groceries.’ Curious, he collected several old bottles and headed to the front desk. The cashier smiled and handed him a small sack filled with canned goods and snacks. Word spread quickly among locals, who started dropping off their outdated medicine in hopes of scoring free groceries. Soon enough, Rite Aid became known as the place where you could get a meal without even buying anything—all thanks to that mysterious note left by someone who clearly loved both practical jokes and helping out their neighbors.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he spotted something strange—an old, dusty jar labeled ‘Lucky Charms’ sitting among the first aid supplies. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but a note inside reading, ‘Take two Lucky Charms and call me in the morning.’ Turns out, it was just an April Fool’s prank from a neighbor who worked there part-time.

4. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Rite Aid pharmacy. As he unloaded boxes from the truck, he noticed something peculiar on the backseat of his own car—a small envelope addressed to ‘The Night Watchman.’ Curious, he opened it and found inside a note scribbled in pencil: 'Dear Night Watchman, please close the window—you left it open last night.' The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and went back to work.
