About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the pharmacy’s shopping cart area—a small, wrapped package among the empty bottles and forgotten bags. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained an old, dusty bottle of cough syrup with no label. Smiling, he decided to keep it as a joke gift for his friend who always complained about sore throats. Later that day, while restocking shelves, another employee discovered the same mysterious bottle, leading to a week-long guessing game among staff about its true origin. In the end, they realized it was just an old sample left behind by a delivery driver—and everyone had a good laugh.

2. One day, while picking up prescription meds, a regular heard an unusual announcement over Giant Eagle Pharmacy’s intercom: ‘Attention please—we’ve found a mysterious package near the cash register. If it belongs to you, come claim it immediately!’ Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that the package was nothing more than an oversized teddy bear with a note saying, 'To our favorite pharmacist—thank you for always being there!' Turned out, it was from a neighbor who thought it would brighten someone's day. The whole store burst into laughter and cheers, making it one of those days when even prescriptions seemed sweeter.

3. While waiting for their prescription, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Do you ever notice how our shopping bags always seem to end up on the same shelf as the giant eagle figurines?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Actually, I’ve noticed that too! It’s like they’re guiding us through the store.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in with another bag, and everyone burst out laughing when he placed it next to a life-sized eagle statue. A neighbor chimed in, ‘Maybe they’re just trying to help us find our way home!’

4. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Giant Eagle Pharmacy's loading dock with a standard shipment of medicine. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something odd—an old, dusty kite wrapped in plastic, nestled among the bottles and boxes. Curious, he picked it up and wondered aloud if anyone had accidentally left it behind. Just then, an elderly gentleman approached the counter, asking for his usual prescription. The pharmacist glanced outside and exclaimed, 'Hey, that's your kite!' Turns out, the neighbor had flown it as a child, lost it decades ago, and never forgot about it. Now, every time he needed medication, he’d come here—and so did his childhood toy.'
