About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, an exhausted CVS delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Who’s been stealing my lunch?’ Suddenly, from behind the counter emerged a friendly voice: ‘Me? I’ve been eating your sandwiches because they’re delicious!’ Turned out it was just a regular customer who’d been helping himself to the freebies. The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, knowing now why he always found empty wrappers in his car.

2. At midnight, when most pharmacies are quiet, a CVS cashier heard someone softly whispering from behind the shelves. "Do you have any midnight specials on Band-Aids?" Curious, she turned around—and saw only empty aisles. The next day, everyone in the store started whispering about the mysterious voice. A delivery driver even brought in a box of glow-in-the-dark Band-Aids as a joke. When asked why, he said, ‘For those late-night emergencies!’

3. In the early hours of morning, a sleep-deprived CVS employee was restocking shelves when they noticed something peculiar. A shadowy figure kept appearing in the aisles, rearranging bottles and quietly humming a familiar tune. Curious but cautious, the worker followed the ghostly figure until it stopped near the aspirin section. Turns out, it was just an old lady who’d forgotten her glasses—she had been searching for her prescription. After a hearty laugh, she thanked the befuddled pharmacist with a bag of candy.

4. In the wee hours before dawn, a lone CVS technician was scanning expired medications when he noticed something odd in the reflection of his glasses. Suddenly, an old bottle of aspirin seemed to wink back at him. Startled, he rubbed his eyes and looked again—only to see it smiling. Turns out, it was just an optical illusion from dust on the shelf. With a laugh, he went back to work, certain that some days even CVS has its moments of magic.
