About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver was unloading boxes one night when he noticed something odd: every fifth box contained an extra packet of sugar-free gum. No one else seemed to notice, but soon enough, customers started reporting finding these mysterious packets in their prescriptions. Finally, after weeks of mystery, a regular customer pointed out that all the extra gums were mint-flavored—just like the delivery driver’s favorite breath freshener! It turned out he’d been accidentally packing his own stuff into the boxes. Everyone had a good laugh, and now Shoppers Drug Mart keeps a supply of free mints for him.
2. A delivery driver was dropping off supplies late one night when he spotted an unusual item in the pharmacy’s loading dock—a small box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he opened it and found packets of what looked like ordinary sugar cubes. But as he tasted them, they seemed to change flavor with each bite—first strawberry, then chocolate, then something spicier… Suddenly, a voice boomed from above: 'Welcome to our secret tasting club!' A friendly pharmacist appeared from behind the counter, winking. The delivery driver realized it was just another quirky Shoppers Drug Mart tradition—sampling exotic flavors for their customers' delight.
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver was stocking shelves in Shoppers Drug Mart, he heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Attention customers—please be advised that our headache remedy is now also effective against hangovers.’ Curious, the delivery driver checked the inventory and found nothing unusual. Later that week, a regular customer asked for both headache medicine and a cure for hangovers. Smiling, the pharmacist replied, 'We’ve got you covered!' The story spread quickly among neighbors, but no one ever saw anyone actually leaving with both items together.
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver was stocking shelves in Shoppers Drug Mart, a regular asked him with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Do you ever see anything strange happen around here?’ The delivery driver shrugged and grinned. ‘Once,’ he said, ‘I saw a guy buying three boxes of Band-Aids—all different colors—and then leaving without paying.’ The regular laughed heartily. ‘Guess he’s got some colorful plans!’
