About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the CVS Pharmacy closed its doors, a soft voice would come over the intercom: ‘Please return your shopping carts to the front.’ No one knew who was speaking or why only carts were mentioned. One night, a delivery driver heard the voice and thought it was strange until he realized his cart was blocking the exit. The next day, everyone started leaving their carts outside on purpose just to hear the funny message again. Turned out, an elderly neighbor with a love for practical jokes had hidden in the store’s stockroom and enjoyed watching people scramble.

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the backroom of CVS Pharmacy, he heard an odd sound coming from the ceiling speakers. The store’s usual muzak had been replaced with a deep, mysterious voice whispering, ‘Welcome home.’ Curious, the delivery driver followed the eerie voice until it led him into the stockroom. There, amidst boxes of Band-Aids and cough syrup, stood a small, smiling teddy bear wearing headphones. 'Just helping out,' it chirped. The driver laughed, shook his head, and left, never mentioning the incident—until his wife found the same bear at another pharmacy and asked if he’d been visiting CVS again.

3. Late one morning, while a delivery driver unpacked boxes in the quiet back room of CVS, he heard an odd whispering sound. Curious, he turned around and saw no one—just rows upon rows of medicine bottles staring blankly back at him. Suddenly, a voice whispered again, ‘Aspirin here… Ibuprofen there…’ The driver smiled, realizing it was just the bottles talking among themselves. He went back to his work, humming softly as if joining their silent conversation.

4. Late one morning, while a delivery driver unpacked boxes in the quiet back room, he noticed an unusual label on a bottle: it read ‘CVS Miracle Elixir—guaranteed to cure anything!’ Curious, he took a sip and immediately felt invigorated. Later that day, when his neighbor came over with a sprained ankle, he offered some of the elixir—and watched as the man danced around like he'd won the lottery. Turns out, CVS Miracle Elixir was just really strong coffee.
