About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when CVS Pharmacy's doors were supposed to be locked tight, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering in the aisles. "It's just my imagination," he thought, but every night after that, he'd catch flashes of movement out of the corner of his eye. One night, while restocking shelves, a delivery driver saw a shadow dart behind the pill dispensers. Thinking it was just his neighbor playing pranks again, he called out, ‘Hey, Mr. Johnson, you can stop hiding now!’ Only to hear a quiet reply from the other side of the counter: “I’m not Mr. Johnson, I’m Mr. Johnson’s medicine!” Everyone had a good laugh—except for poor Mr. Johnson, who never did figure out whose voice it was.

2. At closing time, when CVS Pharmacy’s neon sign flickered off, an old lady appeared in the parking lot. She approached the door and announced over the intercom: ‘This is your daily reminder to take your vitamins!’ One night, a delivery driver heard her voice echoing through the empty streets: ‘Don’t forget to hydrate!’ The next morning, everyone found a bottle of water under their car windshield wiper. It became a friendly prank until someone realized she was just reminding them to drink more water.

3. In the early hours of morning, while CVS Pharmacy was quiet and dark, a little boy walked up to the closed door. Suddenly, he heard a soft humming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man singing along to his radio. The man noticed him and waved, inviting him in with a smile. Turns out it was just a regular delivering medicine, having a sing-along break.

4. At nightfall, when CVS Pharmacy closed its doors for the day, a mysterious voice began echoing over the intercom: ‘This is your friendly neighborhood pharmacist calling… please bring back that empty bottle!’ One night, an exhausted delivery driver heard the message and replied, ‘I’ll bring it back tomorrow!’ The voice responded warmly, ‘Thank you, but I’m not talking about that bottle—just the ones in your medicine cabinet.’ Everyone agreed it was the friendliest neighborhood pharmacy around.
