About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when the night shift pharmacist was counting inventory, he heard a soft whisper from behind the shelves. ‘Is that you, Rite Aid?’ Curious, he turned around and saw only empty shelves. Then, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a small blue pill rolling slowly towards him. With a smile, he picked it up and said, 'Another late-night customer, huh?'

2. Late one afternoon, while an elderly lady was checking out at the cash register, she overheard the pharmacist announce over the intercom: 'Attention all customers—we’ve just received a shipment of aspirin that makes you sing!' The old lady couldn’t help but laugh and wonder what kind of party they were planning next door. As she walked out, she heard another announcement: ‘And don’t forget, this special batch only works if taken with water!’ A few minutes later, her neighbor knocked on the door, asking for aspirin—and a karaoke machine.’

3. Late one morning, as a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the back room, he noticed something peculiar: every time he placed a package on the shelf, it would magically move just a few inches away. Confused and amused, the driver called out, ‘Hey, Rite Aid, you hiring?’ Suddenly, an old lady from the front of the store shouted, ‘Sonny? Is that you? I thought you retired years ago!’ Turns out, the packages were just moving because they recognized their favorite pharmacist’s son.

4. Late one evening, after closing hours, a delivery driver was unpacking boxes in the dimly lit storage area when he noticed something strange written on one of them: ‘Take two and call me in the morning.’ Curious, he opened it carefully, only to find a bottle of aspirin inside. Smiling sheepishly, he thought, ‘Whoever wrote that must be a regular around here.’ The next day, everyone had a good laugh over coffee.
