About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One evening, a regular customer noticed something strange happening in front of Shoppers Drug Mart. Every time he walked past after sunset, an old man appeared out of nowhere, pushing a cart filled with boxes and whispering softly to himself. No one else seemed to see him, but the regular couldn't help but wonder who—or what—he was. Finally, one day the regular decided to follow the mysterious figure. He saw the old man push his cart into the back alley behind Shoppers, where everything disappeared into thin air. The next morning, a confused delivery driver found an empty box labeled ‘Free Samples’ on the store’s doorstep. Ever since then, everyone joked that maybe Shoppers really did give away free samples—even if you had to wait until midnight.
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Shoppers Drug Mart and noticed an unusual sight: a small bird had somehow managed to get stuck inside the store’s neon sign, flapping frantically. The driver quickly ran in, trying not to attract attention, and with some ingenuity, freed the little creature just as customers were beginning their day. As it turned out, the little bird was none other than a regular visitor—the neighborhood sparrow who often perched on the sign. That morning, he must’ve been showing off his acrobatic skills and accidentally got himself trapped. Afterward, everyone joked that maybe Shoppers Drug Mart should hire him for their mascot—‘the feathered pharmacist’—and the delivery driver became something of a local hero for saving the day.
3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Shoppers Drug Mart and noticed an unusual sight: a small crowd had gathered around a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he parked his truck and approached, only to hear someone whispering, ‘It’s supposed to be here any minute now.’ As he got closer, he saw that everyone was staring at a big clock on the wall—ten seconds left until midnight. Turns out, it was New Year's Eve, and someone had mistakenly placed the countdown timer inside the store. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking to himself, 'Next time I'll check the calendar before checking packages!'
4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up outside Shoppers Drug Mart and noticed an unusual sight: a small herd of squirrels was racing across the parking lot, followed closely by an elderly gentleman waving his walking stick. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was some sort of local ritual. As he approached the door, the old man turned around with a twinkle in his eye and whispered, ‘Just helping my little friends get home before closing time.’ The next day, more customers brought snacks for the squirrels, turning Shoppers Drug Mart’s parking lot into an unofficial squirrel café.
