About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Maplewood, whenever a delivery driver approached MinuteClinic after dark, a small dog would appear from nowhere and bark frantically until the truck drove away. No one knew why or how the dog appeared only for deliveries, but locals started calling it ‘the Clinic Sentinel.’ One night, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sight: the dog had run up to him, barking wildly, then suddenly vanished as another truck pulled up. Curious, he asked a neighbor who laughed and said, 'That’s just the Clinic Sentinel—she thinks every delivery is for her!'

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up outside MinuteClinic, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure in a white coat, busily scanning barcodes on empty pill bottles. The delivery driver knocked gently, but the figure didn’t respond. After a moment, it turned around—revealing nothing more than a barcode scanner and a blank expression. Turns out, it was just a regular doing some late-night inventory. The driver laughed it off, shook hands with the ‘doctor,’ and left with his smile wider than ever.

3. In a small town in New England, every morning around dawn, a regular would arrive at MinuteClinic with his dog. The canine had a peculiar habit—each time it entered the clinic’s waiting room, it would sit exactly three feet from the reception desk and wait patiently for its owner. One day, the vet happened to be passing by and asked if he could examine the dog. Turns out, the pooch was just waiting for its morning treat—a special blend of peanut butter and honey that the owner always brought from home. Since then, everyone jokes that MinuteClinic has the best canine patients ever.

4. At midnight, when the streets were empty, a strange humming sound emerged from inside MinuteClinic. It grew louder with each passing minute, like a swarm of bees trapped in a tiny room. Curious neighbors gathered outside, whispering and pointing. Suddenly, the door opened a crack, and an old teddy bear peered out, blinking its eyes. ‘What’s going on?’ asked a sleepy delivery driver. A voice came from within: “Just testing our new alarm system.” Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another late-night adventure in their quiet neighborhood.
