Raley's Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed an old man whispering to himself in front of Raley’s Pharmacy. Curious but cautious, he parked his truck and approached. The man turned around with a twinkle in his eye and said, ‘Just checking if today will be my lucky day.’ The delivery driver smiled and nodded politely. Just as he was about to drive away, the old man whispered, ‘Cross your fingers for me!’ Glancing back later that night, the driver saw the same twinkly-eyed gentleman standing outside Raley’s again—this time holding two bags filled with groceries. He waved cheerfully and called out, ‘Lucky day indeed!’

2. Late one night, while closing up shop, the pharmacist heard a soft knock on the door. 'Anything I can help you with?' he asked into the darkness. But there was no reply—only the sound of someone slowly turning the handle. Finally, an old voice whispered from outside, ‘Just looking for some aspirin.’ The pharmacist opened the door wider and saw… his own reflection in the window. He had forgotten to turn off the security light. With a laugh, he said, ‘Welcome back, a late-night neighbor!’

3. In the early morning hours, before anyone else stirred in town, a delivery driver pulled up outside Raley’s Pharmacy. Curious, he glanced inside through the window—and saw a shadowy figure behind the counter, whispering something into a bottle. The delivery driver watched for a moment, then knocked gently on the glass door. The figure turned around with a startled expression and whispered back, ‘Don’t tell anyone, but I’m just testing out new voice commands for our inventory software!’ The two shared a laugh as dawn broke over the quiet street.

4. In the wee hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Raley’s Pharmacy. As he approached the door, he noticed something peculiar: a small dog was standing guard outside, its tail wagging excitedly. The delivery driver smiled and knelt down, scratching the little fellow behind his ears. ‘Hey there, furry friend,’ he said softly. The dog wagged even harder, as if trying to tell him something important. Just then, the pharmacist appeared with a sleepy yawn, took one look at the canine, and burst out laughing. ‘Oh, it’s you again, old timer!’ He scratched the dog’s head affectionately and waved the driver inside, muttering, “He always shows up when I’m just about to close.”
