CVS Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few months ago, a regular noticed something peculiar in the CVS pharmacy parking lot—an old, dusty bicycle chained to one of the posts. No one claimed it, and no one seemed to miss it. Then, one day, an elderly gentleman arrived on his own bike, unlocked the mysterious bike, chatted amiably with everyone for half an hour, then left without saying a word. Since then, nobody’s bothered the silent stranger—or the bike.

2. A few weeks ago, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does everyone keep staring at the ceiling of our local CVS?’ It turned out that an old poster for a local band was stuck there, forgotten since high school days. Every time someone walked in, they’d see it and start laughing—until they realized others were staring too. Now, whenever anyone mentions CVS, people joke about the hidden concert venue above the pharmacy counter.

3. Last week, while picking up prescriptions at CVS, a delivery driver noticed an odd message scrawled on the bathroom mirror: ‘Ask for Zebra.’ Curious, he did—and found himself handed a bag of candy instead. Turns out, it was just a prank by a regular who loved practical jokes and candy. Now everyone asks for ‘Zebra’ when they visit, and the pharmacy staff knows exactly what to expect.

4. Last night, as a delivery driver approached the CVS pharmacy, he stopped abruptly. The air was filled with a strange, sweet scent that seemed to come from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man wearing a lab coat, mixing colorful powders in a beaker. ‘Oh,’ said the man, noticing him, ‘just making some special holiday elixir.’ Turns out it was just a new employee experimenting with flavored cough syrup recipes—nothing more than a harmless mix-up.
