CVS Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most pharmacies are still locked tight, an old man started visiting CVS Pharmacy on 14th Street. He’d quietly slip in, grab one item from the shelf, and leave without saying a word. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and decided to follow discreetly. Turns out, the old man always took the same thing—a box of chocolate-covered raisins. The store manager smiled knowingly, shaking his head with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Same guy, same time, every morning,’ he said with a chuckle. And so, the mystery ended as sweetly as it began.

2. One night, while closing up shop, a CVS employee overheard a delivery driver whispering into his phone: ‘I just dropped off something… weird.’ Curious, the worker followed the sound of whispers and found an envelope with a note: 'To the next shift—don’t forget the secret ingredient!' Turns out, it was just a new recipe for their famous in-house coffee blend.

3. In the early morning hours, a little girl walked into her local CVS with her pet hamster in a bright pink cage. As she approached the counter, the hamster suddenly perked up and began frantically sniffing the air, as if following some invisible scent. The pharmacist looked puzzled but smiled, bending down to peer into the cage. ‘I’ve never seen a hamster do that before,’ he said, scratching his head. Moments later, an elderly neighbor walked in, muttering something about losing his own hamster earlier that night. Turns out, they were long-lost siblings.'

4. Late one night, a sleepy CVS employee heard a soft thud behind the counter. Glancing around, they saw nothing but a tiny paw sticking out from under the cash register. Curious, the worker reached under and pulled out a small, furry kitten with big green eyes. ‘Oh no,’ they thought, ‘now I’m stuck cleaning up after some neighborhood stray!’ But as they scooped it into their arms, the little cat cuddled close and purred soothingly. The next morning, a smiling sign appeared above the register: “CVS Adoption Center—Kitten Found Here Last Night.”
