About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were almost empty and only a sleepy clerk remained, customers began noticing something strange. A little boy would appear near the candy aisle, pointing excitedly at an unfamiliar package on the shelf. Curious, one customer approached the boy and asked what it was. The kid replied, ‘It’s a new flavor of gummy bears from Brazil!’ Turns out, he was just showing off his collection to anyone who’d listen. By morning, the mysterious boy vanished as quickly as he appeared, leaving behind only a few colorful wrappers scattered around.

2. In the early hours of morning, as the aisles grew quiet and dimly lit, a strange humming sound began to fill the air around Rite Aid. No one could quite place its origin—was it coming from the ceiling vents or perhaps the refrigerators? The only person awake enough to notice was an overnight stocker, who shrugged it off as just another quirky aspect of working late. Then, out of nowhere, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled down the aisle, muttering something about her ‘special medicine’ for insomnia. She smiled warmly at the stocker and said, 'I always get the best sleep here!' Everyone else heard nothing but continued their nightly routines, except maybe a slight giggle from the delivery driver who thought he saw a ghost.

3. Late one night, after closing time, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the pharmacy's parking lot. Curious, he approached and saw an old man fumbling with his keys. Turns out, it was just a neighbor who’d locked himself out again. The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and helped him back inside—another late-night adventure in the life of a pharmacy employee.

4. Late one night, after closing time, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock at Rite Aid. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed an old shopping cart parked next to the building. Curious, he approached it—and found inside a bottle of expired aspirin labeled with a handwritten note: ‘Free samples for good customers.’ Smiling, he took out his phone and snapped a picture, thinking it would make a great story over coffee with his buddies. The next morning, as he showed it around, everyone laughed—until someone recognized the handwriting on the note. Turns out it was from a regular who always forgot to tip, leaving only a smiley face doodle instead.
