About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the pharmacy’s loading bay—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Nobody claimed it, and soon rumors began swirling around town. Curious, the delivery driver opened it carefully, revealing only an old note that read: ‘To whoever finds me first—free candy!’ Inside was a small bag of sour gummies. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone in town stopped by Rite Aid just for the free treats. The pharmacist joked, 'Maybe we should start delivering these every day!'

2. One night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Rite Aid and noticed an unusual glow coming from behind the pharmacy counter. Curious, he walked inside and asked the pharmacist, ‘Is that new neon sign you’ve been testing?’ The pharmacist shook his head and replied, ‘No, it’s just our old security light.’ Suddenly, they heard a voice from the back room say, 'Hey, can someone turn off my video game?' The pharmacist laughed and explained, 'Oh no, that's just Mr. Johnson from next door playing late again.' They both chuckled, realizing that sometimes even the most mysterious things are just everyday oddities.

3. Have you ever seen someone so absorbed in their phone that they didn’t notice the world around them? Well, one day, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Rite Aid and noticed an old man standing right next to it. The thing is, the old man wasn’t moving—completely frozen in place. Curious, the driver walked over and asked him, ‘Excuse me, sir, are you okay?’ The old man just stood there, staring intently at his phone screen. Finally, he looked up with a startled expression and said, 'Oh, hello! I was just checking my steps for today.' The delivery driver burst out laughing. Turns out, the poor guy had fallen asleep waiting for his medication pickup—and missed his entire appointment.

4. In the late afternoon, a little girl followed her mom into Rite Aid for some snacks. As she pushed her stroller past the aisles, she stopped abruptly, pointing at a shelf of band-aids. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why do these band-aids have smiling faces?’ Her mother smiled and gently explained, ‘They’re just trying to make you feel better when you get hurt.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully then turned back with a curious expression. ‘But Mommy, why don’t they smile when I’m already okay?’ A nearby delivery driver chuckled softly, shaking his head as he passed by, thinking to himself, “Kids sure ask the best questions.”
