About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked angrily, ‘Why is there always a pile of old newspapers outside CVS?’ An elderly neighbor overheard and joked, ‘They’re not just any newspapers—those are their secret recipe for keeping customers coming back!’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, knowing it was one of those urban legends that make life more interesting.

2. A young pharmacist noticed something peculiar one night while closing up shop. Every time he flipped off the lights, a faint shadow seemed to linger behind the shelves. Curious, he stayed late one more night and watched intently as the shadow approached the counter. Turned out it was just an old coat his neighbor had left behind. They both got a good laugh out of it, and now the pharmacist keeps that coat in the staff room for warmth.

3. A customer exclaimed one day, ‘Why does CVS seem to run out of band-aids just when I need them most?’ It turned out that a regular who worked night shifts had been secretly stockpiling band-aids in his car for emergencies. When customers complained, he’d discreetly restocked the shelves with his own supply, leaving everyone puzzled but well-prepared.

4. At midnight, a sleep-deprived pharmacist heard a voice from behind the counter: 'CVS, you’re open twenty-four hours—prove it!' The pharmacist turned around, rubbing his eyes, and saw only an empty aisle. Shaking his head, he muttered, ‘Probably just the air conditioning playing tricks.’ But as he reached for the light switch, he noticed a small sign on the counter: ‘We’re Open 24 Hours—Always Have Been!’ With a smile, he realized it was just another late-night prankster having some fun.
