About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside CVS Pharmacy. The moonlight reflected off something unusual—a shadowy figure standing near the entrance. As he approached, the dog inside the store started barking furiously, its tail wagging wildly. Upon closer inspection, the delivery driver saw that it was just an overexcited pug named Max, who thought every package was for him. The owner emerged from behind the counter, laughing heartily. 'Max gets like this when he's excited,' she said, patting the little guy on the head. The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, thinking it was another day in paradise at CVS.'

2. One night, an overnight stocker was restocking shelves when he noticed something unusual in a newly delivered box: tiny packets labeled ‘Free Samples’ that looked exactly like pain relievers. Curious, he opened one packet and popped it into his mouth—nothing happened. Thinking it might be a new flavor of candy, he shared some with a nearby janitor who started laughing uncontrollably. Turns out, it was just a sugar-free sample of gum. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, CVS added a warning note to all their free samples boxes.

3. Late one afternoon, a neighbor walked into CVS and asked the pharmacist, ‘Do you ever close for lunch?’ The pharmacist replied, ‘No, we’re open twenty-four/seven.’ But that very day, everyone noticed the pharmacy had mysteriously vanished during their usual break. The next morning, when the pharmacist returned from his break, he found an empty sign and a note on the counter: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience! We moved down the street for renovations. See you soon!’ Everyone laughed it off, realizing it was just another prank by a regular customer who loved practical jokes.

4. Late one evening, a young mother rushed into CVS with her crying baby. As she approached the counter, she realized she had forgotten diapers at home. Just as she was about to leave in despair, an elderly gentleman behind her offered his last pack of diapers. With a grateful smile, she paid for them and hurried out. Months later, she bumped into him again—this time at the same CVS—and discovered he was the local delivery driver everyone called ‘Diaper Dan.’
