About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, an elderly gentleman asked the pharmacist: ‘Do you ever see that shadowy figure in the aisles after hours?’ The next morning, employees noticed something odd indeed. The pharmacist shook his head and replied, ‘No, sir.’ But later that week, when a delivery driver mentioned seeing a ghostly cat darting between shelves, everyone burst out laughing—except for the old gentleman who kept returning for his prescriptions with a smile.

2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something unusual outside Rite Aid's loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no return address. Curious, he opened it and found inside only a note that read: ‘For your midnight emergencies—Rite Aid.’ Turns out, it was a prank from a neighbor who worked nights and needed some late-night humor.

3. In the late afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mother, ‘Mommy, look at that talking pill bottle!’ The mother smiled and said gently, ‘Honey, it’s just an advertisement on the TV screen.’ The girl tilted her head curiously and asked, ‘Then why does everyone believe him when he says he’ll bring us candy?’ They both laughed softly as they walked towards the checkout counter.

4. At midnight, when the streets were quiet and the moon cast eerie shadows, a delivery driver pulled up to the Rite Aid. He noticed a faint glow coming from inside the nearly empty store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man in a lab coat, humming softly as he mixed strange ingredients in a beaker. ‘What are you doing here?’ asked the driver. The man turned around with a smile, revealing a bottle of cough syrup labeled 'Super Strength Sleep Aid.' ‘Oh,’ he said, ‘just making sure our loyal customers get a good night’s rest.’ With that, he winked and vanished into thin air, leaving behind only the scent of menthol.}
