Rite Aid

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at Rite Aid when an elderly gentleman approached the counter with something unusual. He asked the pharmacist for a prescription refill—and then added, ‘And could you please wrap it in pink tissue paper?’ The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but nodded and wrapped the pill bottle neatly in pastel pink tissue. As he handed it over, the old man whispered, 'Just in case my wife sees it.' The entire staff burst into laughter, realizing that sometimes love means hiding your medicine in pretty paper!'

2. At night, as employees locked up the Rite Aid pharmacy, they heard it—a faint humming sound coming from inside the empty store. Curious but cautious, one worker dared to peek through the window and saw something strange: a shadowy figure, dressed in an old-fashioned lab coat, slowly moving among the shelves. The figure approached the counter, picked up a box of aspirin, and whispered, ‘Just one for tonight…’ Then, with a flicker of light, everything went back to normal. The next morning, no one mentioned anything until a delivery driver asked jokingly if anyone had seen ‘the ghost pharmacist.’

3. A little boy walked into the Rite Aid one afternoon, clearly lost in thought. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, look! There’s a unicorn on that box!’ Everyone turned to see—nothing but ordinary medicine bottles. Just then, an older gentleman passing by leaned down and asked gently, 'Son, are you sure it's not just a rainbow on the bottle?' The boy nodded enthusiastically, prompting everyone to laugh softly. Finally, a kind pharmacist chimed in with a smile, 'Well, maybe that's why they call it imagination aisle!'

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the Rite Aid late one night with a strange package. As he unloaded it, a small furry creature scurried out and darted into the pharmacy's entrance. The delivery driver looked around puzzled, then shrugged and went home. Inside, an elderly pharmacist noticed the tiny critter and gently shooed it towards the counter. It hopped onto the scale, weighed exactly two pounds, and promptly ordered some aspirin for its headache. Everyone had a good laugh, including the neighbor who came in later to pick up his prescription.
