About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shoppers Drug Mart and noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound seemed to be coming from inside the building. Everyone else ignored it, but he couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't just any old machinery. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small glowing orb floating around shelves. Startled, he quickly backed away, only to bump into an elderly lady who asked if everything was alright. Turns out, the humming was just their new self-checkout AI greeting customers warmly.

2. One night, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the pharmacist, ‘Excuse me, can you tell me where I can buy some “extra strength” aspirin?’ The pharmacist replied calmly, ‘Sir, we only sell regular aspirin here.’ The old man frowned and said, ‘But my wife always buys it from here!’ The pharmacist smiled gently and explained, 'Sir, maybe your wife prefers a different brand.' The old man thought for a moment, then nodded with understanding. 'Ah, perhaps you're right,' he said, turning towards the door. Just as he left, someone called out from behind the counter: "Hey, Mr. Jones, don't forget to pick up your prescription!" The old man paused, looked back, and sheepishly returned.

3. In a small town pharmacy, after hours of quiet, a young child entered one day. As she pushed her shopping cart down the aisle, every bottle on the shelves seemed to whisper her name softly. Finally, as she approached the checkout counter, an old cashier with kind eyes smiled and asked, 'Would you like some candy for your journey?' The girl nodded shyly, and the cashier whispered back, 'Welcome home, little explorer.' That night, Shoppers Drug Mart became known not just for its medicines but also for its unexpected adventures.

4. After closing time, a small dog darted into Shoppers Drug Mart, sniffing around the shelves. The night manager, puzzled but amused, followed it to find out where it led. Following the little fellow, the manager discovered an entire hidden stash of discounted candies behind the counter. Turns out, the store’s regular had been sneaking in after hours for some sweet treats. Everyone got a good laugh—even the night manager found himself buying a bag or two before locking up.
