About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as customers were browsing quietly through aisles, an announcement crackled over CVS’s speakers: ‘Attention please—your lucky number for today is… 99!’ A delivery driver, hearing the announcement, thought it was a prank and started shouting, ‘I’m on 99th Street!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and from then on, whenever someone mentioned CVS, people would joke that it was where numbers came alive.

2. Late one night, a sleepy delivery driver pulled up to CVS’s back door. Suddenly, a tiny voice whispered from behind him: ‘Sir? Is that really aspirin I smell?’ The driver turned around and saw no one. Just an empty alleyway. He shrugged it off as his imagination playing tricks. Then he heard another soft voice: 'Excuse me, do you have any cough syrup?' The delivery guy laughed nervously, realizing he was probably going crazy—until he looked down and saw a small bottle of throat lozenges rolling towards him.

3. Late one night, while a regular was checking out, a sign above the cash register suddenly lit up and declared: ‘Welcome to CVS—your health is our after-hours priority!’ As the customer left, puzzled but amused, another sign winked on: 'Next time, try our midnight candy selection!' A delivery driver passing by chuckled and muttered, 'That’s why they call it CVS…'

4. Late one night, a little girl followed her mom into CVS. As she walked down the aisle, something caught her eye—a box of band-aids that seemed to blink in the dim light. Curious, she reached out and touched it—suddenly, all the band-aids lit up like tiny fireflies! Her mother laughed and said, ‘Honey, those aren’t really blinking.’ But the little girl insisted they were magic, and from then on, whenever anyone visited CVS late at night, they’d whisper, ‘Watch out for the talking band-aids!’
