About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store closed and the lights went off, a little girl would appear in front of the pharmacy's entrance. She’d stand there, staring at the old-fashioned sign, her eyes wide with wonder. No one ever saw her during the day. One evening, an elderly gentleman came for his prescription. As he waited, he noticed someone whispering behind him. Turning around, he saw only the little girl, now giggling and pointing at the moon outside. ‘She’s talking to the moon,’ whispered a delivery driver nearby. The old man smiled and said, “Well, I guess she knows something we don’t.”

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver approached Rite Aid, he noticed something odd: a small dog peeking through the pharmacy’s open window, sniffing curiously around the shelves. Curious about what the little fellow was up to, the delivery driver quietly entered the store. To his surprise, the dog had found a box of donuts and was happily munching away. After a moment's hesitation, the driver joined him, whispering, ‘Hey, buddy, these are for customers!’ They both laughed, and soon enough, a regular passing by saw them and said, ‘Looks like someone forgot to lock the door again.’

3. Late one morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside the pharmacy. It was like someone softly humming 'Happy Birthday' over and over again. Curious, the driver peeked inside. There stood an old lady, smiling gently as she wrapped colorful candies into small bags. ‘It’s my secret,’ she whispered, pointing at the closed door. ‘I sing Happy Birthday every day to remind everyone that life is sweet.’ The delivery man smiled, shook his head, and thought to himself, ‘Now THAT’S a reason to work late!’

4. Late one morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes, he heard an unusual whisper: ‘Hey, you missed one!’ Curious, he looked around and saw only empty shelves. Then, from behind a stack of boxes, emerged a small voice: 'I’m talking to YOU!' Turned out, it was just a neighbor’s parrot, who had escaped during the night. After that, whenever anyone forgot something, they’d hear the friendly reminder: 'Hey, you missed one!'
