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 and noticed something odd. The store’s neon sign had flickered on briefly, illuminating an empty parking lot with eerie green light. As he approached the door, a small dog barked excitedly from inside, its tail wagging furiously despite no apparent owner in sight. Curious, the driver peered through the window and saw a friendly old cat sleeping behind the counter. ‘Hello!’ he called out gently, but the only response was a yawn from the feline. Just then, a voice from the back room said, “Hey, that’s my cat!” A sleepy pharmacist emerged, rubbing his eyes. “Thanks for waking us,” he grumbled good-naturedly. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and smiling, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll check twice before calling animal control.’

2. One day, while stocking shelves after hours, a CVS employee noticed something odd in an empty shopping cart on the loading dock—a small, sealed package labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious but cautious, they opened it only to discover a jar filled with glitter that changed colors when shaken. As soon as the employee shook the jar, everyone within ten feet started humming the same catchy tune from an old commercial. Turned out it was just a promotional glitter for a new toothpaste flavor. The whole place ended up covered in multicolored sparkles, and the store manager had to declare a temporary ‘glitter emergency’ until a delivery driver showed up with a special cleaner. Everyone got a good laugh, and a neighbor even brought over some cookies to celebrate the unusual event.

3. One night, an elderly gentleman entered the CVS and asked the pharmacist, ‘Excuse me, do you sell moonlight here?’ The pharmacist replied, ‘No sir, but we have plenty of band-aids for any scratches.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in and said, 'Hey, I could use some moonlight too!' The pharmacist smiled and answered, 'Son, we've got everything under the sun—except moonlight.' As the old man left, he turned back and whispered, 'At least they’ve got stars on their signs!'

4. One afternoon, as a young pharmacist was counting inventory late into the night, she heard a voice whisper, 'Hey, where’s my prescription?' Curious, she followed the voice to an empty aisle and found only a half-empty bottle of cough syrup. ‘Must be someone’s misplaced order,’ she thought, smiling. The next morning, her colleague joked, ‘Did you meet our new regular last night?’ Turns out it was just the night shift delivery driver who forgot his lunch.
