About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to CVS Pharmacy. The sun had barely risen over the city, casting soft light on the empty streets. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: the store’s neon sign seemed to flicker in time with the humming of the refrigerated display cases. He watched as the lights danced in sync, like old friends greeting each other after years apart. Just then, a voice from inside called out, ‘Hey, you forgot to turn off the fridge!’ A sleepy pharmacist appeared in the doorway, rubbing his eyes and smiling sheepishly. The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just another Monday at CVS—except for the early-morning disco show.

2. A regular customer entered CVS one morning and asked the pharmacist with a straight face: ‘Do you have any anti-gravity cream?’ The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but replied calmly, 'We don’t carry that, sir.' The man then whispered conspiratorially, 'Oh, I thought maybe it could help me win my bet on who can reach the moon first!' Everyone in the store burst out laughing, including the pharmacist.

3. A concerned neighbor stopped by CVS one afternoon and asked, ‘Why is there suddenly a small garden growing in front of your store?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's our secret herb garden. We use it for natural remedies!' The neighbor raised an eyebrow and said, 'Really? I thought you were just trying to attract more customers with some greenery.' The pharmacist winked and added, 'Well, that’s not a bad side effect either!'

4. It was a stormy night in New York City when a delivery driver rushed into CVS, soaked to the skin. 'Gotta get some band-aids,' he muttered, 'or I’ll never make it back to my truck!' As he reached for the first aid kit, an old lady behind him exclaimed, ‘Honey, you’re bleeding everywhere!’ Turning around, our hero saw that his jacket had caught on fire from the flashlight in his hand. With a quick spray of numbing gel and some duct tape, everyone burst out laughing—including the poor guy who now looked like a walking advertisement for CVS’s emergency supplies.
