About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, an anonymous voice came over CVS’s intercom: ‘Next customer please, your prescription is ready.’ Strangers started showing up, claiming their nonexistent medications. One night, a delivery driver appeared and asked for his ‘special order’. The pharmacist shrugged it off until he saw the label: ‘Emergency Stock of Everything’. It turned out to be a prank from a regular who loved watching people scramble.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the CVS drive-thru window with a frown on his face. As he leaned into the speaker, a quiet voice whispered, 'Hey there, can you bring that smile back? It's been a while since I've seen one around here.' The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one. He smiled sheepishly and said, ‘Thanks, I needed that!’ Just then, an old lady in line behind him chuckled and remarked, “That’s our friendly ghost, haunting the place for years now.” The driver laughed and waved goodbye as he drove off, leaving everyone with a warm feeling—and a smile.

3. Late one morning, a CVS employee noticed a strange humming sound coming from the stockroom. As he approached, the noise grew louder and more distinct—like someone whistling an old folk tune. Curious, he opened the door slowly, revealing a tiny old man in a green hat, humming away as he rearranged bottles of aspirin. ‘Excuse me,’ said the employee, smiling. The little fellow looked up, blinked, then winked. ‘Just helping out,’ he replied with a twinkle in his eye. And that’s why, to this day, some customers claim they’ve seen Santa Claus delivering medicine at CVS.’

4. In the early hours of dawn, a sleepy CVS employee heard a soft whisper: 'CVS, are you open for business?' Curious, the worker followed the voice and found an elderly neighbor who needed pain medication for his arthritic knee. With a smile, he said, ‘Of course I’m open—just for special customers like you!’
