About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Shoppers Drug Mart with an unusual package. As he approached the door, his little dog started barking furiously, even though there were no other animals around. The driver looked puzzled until he noticed a small hole in the package. Out popped a squirrel, startling everyone but calming the dog instantly. Turns out it was just a local critter hitching a ride home for acorns. A neighbor later joked that maybe Shoppers should hire the squirrel as their new mascot.

2. One day after school, little Sarah entered Shoppers Drug Mart and gasped in surprise when she saw a tiny penguin waddling between aisles. The store clerk calmly explained that it was just visiting from the local zoo, but no one else had seen it before or since. Later that week, an elderly gentleman approached the counter holding a box of tissues. ‘I’ve been meaning to ask,’ he said with a smile, ‘is there really a penguin who lives here?’ The pharmacist shook his head and replied, ‘No sir, just our regular customers.’

3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shoppers Drug Mart with an armful of boxes. As he approached the door, he noticed something odd on the security camera feed: a small, furry creature darting between shelves. Curious, he followed it inside and found a tiny squirrel, frantically gathering pills into its little paws. The squirrel scurried off just as a regular customer entered, causing everyone to laugh when they saw the delivery guy chasing after a critter through aisles filled with Band-Aids and cough drops.

4. At closing time, a shopper asked the pharmacist: ‘Do you sell mood-boosting candies here?’ The pharmacist replied, ‘We have something for every ailment.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in and said, 'I could use some mood boosting coffee!' The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'For that, you'd better visit Starbucks next door.' The shopper laughed so hard she almost forgot why she came in.
