About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the pharmacist: ‘Why does that Shoppers Drug Mart sign keep changing colors?’ The pharmacist shrugged and said it must be some new LED experiment. Later that week, a delivery driver remarked, ‘Maybe they’re testing different moods for customers—blue for calm, red for urgency.’ A neighbor chimed in, ‘Or maybe,’ grinned another customer, ‘they just forgot to turn off the rainbow mode!’
2. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Shoppers Drug Mart and noticed an eerie message scrawled on the door in red marker: ‘Closed for emergency restocking.’ The delivery driver knocked gently but got no response. Curious, he entered through the back entrance and found the place empty—except for one smiling face peering out from behind the counter: a sleepy pharmacist who had accidentally locked himself in during his own nap. 'Emergency restocking,' he yawned, 'must’ve been my shift.'
3. In a quiet residential neighborhood, a little girl pointed excitedly at the Shoppers Drug Mart sign one morning. ‘Mommy,’ she said, ‘why is it winking at us?’ The mother smiled and gently explained, 'Honey, it's not really moving. It's just the light reflecting off the sign.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully before turning back with a twinkle in her eye, 'Then why does it wink at us every time we come here?' The mother laughed, ruffling her hair affectionately, knowing that some things are best left mysterious.
4. In a small town, every morning at precisely 6 am, a curious dog would appear outside the Shoppers Drug Mart. It never entered, but stood there, staring intently at the neon sign until its owner called it away. One day, an elderly neighbor noticed the dog and decided to bring him some treats. The dog ignored them, but when she started singing along with the store’s Christmas carols, he wagged his tail for the first time ever. Turns out, he was just waiting for someone to break the monotony of those early-morning neon lights.
