About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was stocking shelves in Shoppers Drug Mart, he noticed something peculiar on the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, customers and staff—please be mindful of our new policy: if you see an item that’s out of stock, feel free to take it from another customer.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it must be some prank. Later that day, as he walked down the aisle, he saw an elderly lady trying to decide between two different brands of toothpaste. Smiling, he whispered into her ear, 'Ma’am, I believe someone already took your favorite brand.' She nodded gratefully, replying, 'Thank you, dear!' And thus began Shoppers Drug Mart's unofficial trial run of their 'community sharing' initiative.

2. While restocking the shelves one afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something odd—a small package wrapped in brown paper had mysteriously appeared among the cough syrups. Curious, he unwrapped it to find inside a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please give this to Mr. Johnson.’ Turns out, little Timmy from down the street had accidentally left his homework here after school. Everyone had a good laugh over that one.

3. One day, after school, little Sarah entered Shoppers Drug Mart for a pack of gum. But when she reached for the candy aisle, she found it filled with boxes of Band-Aids—every flavor imaginable! The storekeeper just smiled and said they were running a special promotion. As Sarah picked up a strawberry-flavored band-aid, an old lady approached her, saying, 'Honey, I thought these were supposed to heal wounds!' They both burst out laughing, realizing that maybe Shoppers had run out of everything else but band-aids. The end.

4. While restocking the shelves one night, a delivery driver heard an unusual sound coming from the backroom. Curious, he peered inside and found a shelf rearranging itself. The driver watched in amazement as boxes shuffled like they had a mind of their own. Thinking quickly, he pretended not to notice and quietly left the room. Later that evening, while chatting with his neighbor, he mentioned the strange occurrence. ‘You must’ve been seeing things,’ said the neighbor, smiling. The driver shook his head, laughing: ‘Nah, I think it was just Shoppers’ way of keeping things interesting.’
