About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when Shoppers Drug Mart closed its doors, a delivery driver swore he heard whispers coming from the empty aisles. "Who’s there?" he called out, but no one answered. Curious, he tiptoed towards the sound, only to realize it was just an old medicine bottle rattling on a shelf. With a laugh, he went back outside, but as he drove home, he noticed his neighbor waving frantically from across the street—clearly thinking him crazy.

2. Late one night, after Shoppers Drug Mart had locked its doors, a delivery driver heard an unusual announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, all customers and employees—your shopping bags are now on sale!' Curious, the delivery driver approached the counter, only to see his own reflection in the glass door. He opened it, stepped inside, and found himself surrounded by smiling mannequins holding discounted shopping bags. Realizing it was all a prank, he laughed out loud, waved goodbye to the empty shelves, and drove off into the night, muttering something about practical jokes.

3. In the early hours of morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Shoppers Drug Mart. As he walked towards the back door, he noticed something odd in the loading bay—a shopping cart filled with boxes marked ‘employees only.’ Curious, he opened one box and found it contained free samples—chocolates, candies, and snacks. Smiling, he thought, 'Finally, some perks for delivering late nights!' He loaded his pockets and left, never realizing that every employee in the store had been secretly stocking up on goodies for months.

4. In the dead of winter, when even pharmacies seemed to close early, an elderly lady entered Shoppers Drug Mart just before closing time. She asked for something unusual—an antidote to loneliness. The pharmacist looked puzzled but kindly said he’d check with his colleagues. Soon enough, a young delivery driver chimed in, suggesting they could deliver some warm cookies and friendly conversation instead. The old lady smiled gratefully, bought her usual supplies, then left, humming softly. To this day, Shoppers Drug Mart keeps a special batch of cookies on hand, just in case someone needs more than aspirin.
