About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most CVS pharmacies are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The parking lot lights were on full blast, but no cars were around. Peering inside through the glass doors, he saw an old man in a lab coat pacing back and forth behind the counter. As the driver approached closer, he heard soft humming coming from within. Curious, he called out gently, ‘Excuse me, sir?’ The old man turned around with a smile, revealing a tray of freshly baked cookies under his arm. ‘Oh,’ he said cheerfully, ‘I was just making some special treats for our customers.’ The delivery guy laughed, shaking his head, thinking maybe it wasn’t such a late-night visit after all.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached the CVS, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window—only to see shelves rearranging themselves. Suddenly, a voice boomed over the intercom: ‘Next time use the back entrance!’ Embarrassed, the driver realized it was just the night manager joking around. The shelves stopped moving, and everything returned to normal. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghosts, the neighborhood kids would say, “It’s probably just CVS playing pranks again.”

3. Late one morning, while stocking shelves in the early hours, a CVS employee overheard a strange conversation coming from the pharmacy counter. Curious, she peeked around the corner and saw an elderly gentleman arguing with the pharmacist about the price of aspirin. Turns out he thought they were selling ‘aspirin’ for twenty dollars each—when really it was ‘aspirins,’ as in little paper cups filled with water. Everyone had a good laugh, including the befuddled customer who left with his free cup o’ water.

4. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up to the CVS. The parking lot was deserted, but inside, something odd was happening. Over the intercom, a tinny voice announced: ‘Attention, neighbors—we’re out of Band-Aids!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously and thought, ‘Great, now I’m stuck here until they restock.’ Just then, an elderly neighbor poked his head out of his apartment door and said, ‘I’ve got some extra Band-Aids if you need them!’ The driver smiled gratefully and replied, ‘Thanks, neighbor! That’s what community is all about.’
