About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver once found an old, dusty accordion tucked behind some boxes in the storage room of Rite Aid. No one claimed it, and ever since then, every now and then, someone hears faint strains of ‘O Sole Mio’ coming from deep within the pharmacy’s bowels. One night, a delivery driver heard the music too and followed its melody down a dimly lit hallway. He peeked around the corner and saw an elderly gentleman humming along, polishing glasses with a gentle smile on his face. Turns out, he was just the pharmacist's eccentric uncle, who lived above the store and played his beloved accordion whenever he felt nostalgic for home. Everyone decided not to tell anyone else—they liked their little secret musical surprise.

2. At closing time one night, a pharmacist heard a voice from the stockroom: ‘Hey, doc, check out these glow-in-the-dark band-aids!’ Curious, the pharmacist went in and saw nothing but boxes of ordinary band-aids. Just as he turned around, another voice called out: ‘Doc, you missed these neon-colored plasters!’ Peering again, he found only blank shelves. That’s when he realized it was just his imagination playing tricks—until he noticed a delivery driver laughing outside. ‘Ah,’ said the pharmacist, shaking his head. ‘Another late-night adventure at Rite Aid.’

3. In the early hours of morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. As he approached the Rite Aid parking lot, a small dog emerged from behind the building, wagging its tail and sniffing curiously at a large cardboard box. Curious, the driver opened the box and found it filled with bags of ice. The little dog, clearly enjoying the cool breeze, sat down contentedly next to him. Turns out, someone had accidentally left an ice delivery in the wrong place—poor pooch was just chilling until his owner arrived!

4. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver approached the Rite Aid parking lot and was startled by a faint, rhythmic tapping sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but empty shelves and quiet aisles. Suddenly, an old man in a bathrobe appeared from behind the counter, humming softly to himself. ‘Oh,’ he said, blinking sleepily. ‘Did I fall asleep on duty again? Must be later than I thought.’ The delivery driver laughed nervously as they exchanged embarrassed smiles.
