About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while waiting for his prescription, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Do you ever get strange deliveries here?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Only packages of aspirin and Band-Aids.’ Just then, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package: a giant box labeled ‘Emergency Kit.’ The pharmacist opened it to find nothing but a note that read, ‘For when life gives you lemons—make lemonade!’ Everyone laughed, including the regular who said, ‘Guess I’ll just take two Tylenol for my headache now.’

2. In one corner of the Rite Aid parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd in his truck’s cargo bay—a small package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious but cautious, he placed it on the counter during his shift. The pharmacist opened it to find…nothing inside. Just an empty box and a note that read: ‘Next time, try harder.’ The next day, another package appeared—this time, just a piece of chalk reading: 'You missed again!' Finally, a concerned neighbor stopped by with a bag of donuts and said, 'Maybe you should take a break?' The pharmacist laughed and replied, 'Or maybe I should start eating lunch.'

3. In one quiet neighborhood, a delivery driver pulled up to Rite Aid late one evening. As he stepped out, he heard an odd sound coming from inside the pharmacy. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only shelves of medicine and empty aisles. Suddenly, a voice called out from behind the counter: 'Hey! Can you help me? I’m stuck in here!' Turns out, it was just an overeager night manager who forgot to lock up after his shift. The delivery driver laughed it off, shook hands with the relieved employee, and drove away, thinking, ‘Next time I'll check twice before calling for help.’

4. In a small town, a little girl named Emma often visited her grandmother who lived near the Rite Aid pharmacy. One day, as she followed her grandmother inside, Emma stopped in surprise when she saw an old, dusty teddy bear sitting on the counter. 'Grandma,' she whispered, pointing, 'why does that bear look so sad?' Grandma smiled and gently picked up the bear. ‘Oh, sweetie,’ she said softly, ‘that’s not just any bear.’ She winked at Emma and added, “It’s our secret customer from last night—left it here by accident.” Emma giggled, realizing the bear wasn’t really sad after all.
