About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when CVS Pharmacy’s lights were off and most customers had gone home, a soft voice would come over the intercom: ‘Please return your umbrellas to the front counter.’ No one knew who was leaving those messages or why. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in, umbrella under his arm. ‘Finally!’ he said, ‘I’ve been bringing mine back every week.’ A delivery driver overheard him and whispered, ‘That’s because it never rains here—just umbrellas!’

2. Late one night, as CVS Pharmacy’s closing bell dinged softly in the empty aisles, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the intercom: ‘Attention, all employees—please bring your lucky charms tonight.’ Curious, the staff gathered around the intercom, each holding their favorite good-luck token. The next day, everyone arrived with everything from four-leaf clovers to lucky socks. By evening, the pharmacy was buzzing like never before. When asked why, no one knew—the message had vanished into thin air. But CVS Pharmacy became the talk of the town for weeks after that.

3. At dawn, when CVS Pharmacy's parking lot was deserted, an old delivery truck pulled up with its headlights barely illuminating the early morning fog. A lone delivery driver stepped out, whistling a tune, unaware that someone was watching him from inside the pharmacy. Suddenly, an elderly voice called from behind the counter: 'Hey there, sonny! What time do you think it is?' The delivery driver jumped and nearly dropped his clipboard. Turns out, the pharmacist had been awake all night brewing coffee and listening to old-time radio shows. They ended up chatting for a while, and the delivery guy learned that the kindly old man next door always kept an extra bag of donuts in his desk drawer.

4. In the early hours of morning, when CVS Pharmacy’s doors were locked tight, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the loading dock. Among the boxes of medicine, he found a small, dusty teddy bear with a note attached: ‘Take care of yourself.’ The delivery driver took it upon himself to hide the bear behind the counter, waiting for someone to notice its presence. Later that day, an elderly woman came in asking for aspirin and a smile. The pharmacist placed the bear next to her prescription with a note: 'Get well soon—your secret admirer.' Word spread quickly, turning CVS into the town's unofficial gift station.
