About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the pharmacist, ‘Do you ever get strange deliveries here?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Oh yes, once a week or so, someone drops off some odd packages.' The old man nodded knowingly and said, 'I see. And what do you do with them?' With a twinkle in his eye, the pharmacist answered, 'We just put them on the shelf next to the aspirin—who knows when they might come in handy!'

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Rite Aid pharmacy, fumbling with his keys in the gloom. As he unlocked the door, he heard a voice whispering from behind the counter: 'Morning, honey, how can I help you today?' The delivery guy jumped and dropped his packages, but then turned around—and saw no one. ‘Must be an echo,’ he muttered, picking up his stuff. Later that day, a neighbor passing by noticed him laughing as he entered the store, asking aloud, “Did you hear that too?” The delivery man shook his head, smiling. ‘Nope, just my imagination, sugar.’

3. In the early hours of the morning, a sleepy delivery driver pulled into the parking lot of Rite Aid. As he stepped out of his truck, his dog began frantically sniffing around the entrance, whimpering and pointing towards the door. Curious, the driver opened the door, only to discover that the store was indeed closed for the night. But as they peered inside, they saw something unexpected—a small, sleepy cat curled up on one of the shelves, fast asleep next to a box of tissues. The delivery driver smiled, picked up both the dog and the cat, and drove them home to their owner, who lived just down the street. Turns out, it was just another late-night adventure in the life of a neighborhood Rite Aid.

4. One rainy afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Rite Aid pharmacy. As he stepped inside, he noticed something odd on the bulletin board above the counter: ‘FREE COFFEE FOR THE PERSON WHO FINDS THE MISSING PACK OF DIAPERS.’ The delivery driver scanned the shelves but found no diapers. Just as he was leaving, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked for help with his prescription. The pharmacist pointed him towards the missing pack of diapers—right next to where the old man had been standing all along. With a laugh, the pharmacist said, 'Guess you won’t be getting that free coffee today!'
