About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular was checking out, the cashier announced over the PA: 'Attention, everyone—we’ve just run out of Band-Aids!' The whole store erupted in laughter and confusion. Just then, an older gentleman—a regular who always came for his daily vitamins—stood up and declared, ‘I HAVE BAND-AIDS AT HOME!’ He promptly left, only to return moments later with a gigantic box under his arm. The entire store cheered, and the delivery driver started laughing so hard he almost dropped the groceries he was unloading outside.

2. At midnight, when most pharmacies are quiet, an elderly gentleman entered Rite Aid to pick up his prescription. As he approached the counter, the store’s automated voice said, ‘Welcome… Mr. Johnson? We have your medication here.’ Mr. Johnson smiled and replied, 'Yes, that's me!' The cashier looked puzzled but scanned the items quickly. When the old man left, a delivery driver whispered to his colleague, 'I heard that happens every night.' A neighbor overheard them and quipped, 'Guess Mr. Johnson has some secret prescription for eternal youth!'

3. At dawn, when most pharmacies are closed for the night, a delivery driver pulled up to Rite Aid with a mysterious package marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNTIL SUNRISE.’ The driver placed it on the counter, whispered something about ‘good luck,’ and vanished into the pre-dawn fog. Inside was an old photo album labeled ‘Best Memories.’ The next day, everyone in town flipped through its pages, discovering long-forgotten snapshots of themselves as kids playing in front of Rite Aid. It turned out that every year, an anonymous neighbor left these albums as a surprise for the community.

4. In the early morning hours, just before dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock of Rite Aid. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something odd in one of them—a small, dusty jar labeled ‘Free Samples’. As he opened it curiously, a waft of strange aroma filled the air—like old socks and bananas. Inside were tiny packets of what looked like stale popcorn seasoning. He shrugged, poured some onto his finger, and tasted it. Turned out to be an ancient batch of free samples from last decade’s Halloween candy promotion. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and muttered, 'Next time I’ll check the expiration date!'
