About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the pharmacy’s loading bay—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he picked it up and found a note scribbled on the side: ‘Open only if you’re honest.’ He carefully opened the box and inside was a bag of candy—chocolate kisses with a handwritten card that read, 'For being so honest.' A regular customer who saw him leaving with the treats laughed and said, 'Guess honesty really is the best policy!'

2. One day, an early bird customer found an unusual item on the pharmacy counter—an old, dusty bottle labeled ‘Liquid Luck.’ Rumor had it that anyone who bought it would get exactly what they wished for, but only once. A delivery driver, rushing with a late order, snatched the last bottle without reading the label. That night, he wished for perfect timing—and sure enough, his next package arrived exactly when he needed it most. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone was asking for ‘Liquid Luck,’ until one morning, an elderly neighbor walked in, shook her head, and said, ‘Young man, I’ve seen your luck run out—it’s now time for mine!’

3. Late one night, a delivery driver parked outside the Rite Aid and heard strange noises coming from inside. Peering through the window, he saw a shadowy figure filling prescriptions with meticulous care—except it wasn’t closing any until midnight. Curious, the driver knocked gently on the door. The figure turned around, its eyes glowing faintly in the dim light. ‘Oh,’ it said in a raspy voice, ‘you’re early for your prescription.’ Turning back to the counter, it continued counting pills without missing a beat. Relieved, the delivery guy left, only to bump into his neighbor later that night who swore they’d seen the same ghostly pharmacist at their own local Rite Aid.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver parked outside the Rite Aid and saw a shadowy figure darting between shelves. ‘What on earth is that?’ he whispered, peering through the darkened windows. Curious, he crept inside only to discover it was just an overexcited kitten playing with some loose bandages. The next morning, everyone in town had a good laugh—and a new mascot for Rite Aid.
