About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman began visiting CVS every Tuesday. Employees noticed he always paid with exact change and left without saying a word. One day, a new sign appeared above the cash register: ‘Tuesday Night Specials – Silent Shoppers Only.’ From then on, every Tuesday evening, other silent shoppers started showing up—some brought cookies, others whispered jokes, and soon enough, the once-silent Tuesday nights became a friendly tradition. Even the grumpiest pharmacist learned to smile when the clock struck six.

2. One day, after closing hours, a small dog started appearing outside the CVS entrance. Every time employees looked out, there it was—waiting patiently for something no one else could see. Finally, an employee decided to bring some treats and called the local animal shelter. The next morning, everyone found out that the ‘mysterious’ dog was just a neighborhood stray who loved visiting his friend—the night security guard. Turns out, they had been sharing midnight snacks together for weeks!

3. After midnight, a voice over the store’s PA announced, ‘Last chance for late-night aspirin!’ Employees soon learned that a mysterious figure in a hooded sweatshirt made these calls exactly once each month. One night, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked for Band-Aids. The pharmacist looked puzzled—Band-Aids were never on sale after midnight. As it turned out, the old man was just there to confirm the monthly ritual. Everyone laughed when he left, knowing CVS would never run out of late-night first aid.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to CVS and noticed something odd: a neon sign reading ‘Closed, but open to ghost prescriptions.’ Curious, he walked inside and saw an old pharmacist behind the counter, humming softly to himself. 'Welcome,' said the man, not even glancing up from his crossword puzzle. 'Just fill out this form for your ghost prescription.' The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking it was just another quirky CVS tradition.
