About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the CVS Pharmacy closed its doors, a strange glow would occasionally appear in one of the windows on the second floor. Passersby noticed it first—a little girl pointing excitedly and whispering to her mother: 'Look, Mommy, it's like magic!' As they got closer, the glow turned out to be nothing more than an old security monitor showing a live feed from the pharmacy's candy counter—where a regular customer was happily sorting gummy bears into bags for his granddaughter. The little girl’s smile lit up the entire store, making everyone who saw them feel warm inside.

2. Late one morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the backroom of CVS Pharmacy, he caught an odd whiff of freshly baked cookies. Confused, he looked around but saw no sign of baking equipment or ovens. The scent grew stronger, and soon it seemed like someone was actually baking something right next door. Curious, he followed the aroma down the hallway until he found himself outside another store—a small bakery run by a friendly neighbor. It turned out that every day at exactly 8 AM, this neighbor would sneak over and bake his famous chocolate chip cookies just for the delivery drivers. Everyone got a free cookie, and from then on, CVS had the best morning breaks ever.

3. In the early hours before dawn, a voice over the CVS Pharmacy’s intercom announced, ‘Last chance for midnight discounts—hurry up!’ But no one ever saw anyone leaving with anything special. One night, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked for aspirin. The recorded voice crackled, ‘You’ve got five minutes left—grab two bottles!’ When she came out, everyone was still there, waiting just like her. It turned out the message played every thirty seconds on loop.

4. Late one afternoon, as a young pharmacist was checking prescriptions behind the counter, he noticed something peculiar on the security camera feed. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman walked into view, completely oblivious to the chaos around him. The pharmacist watched in amusement as the man calmly approached the counter and asked for aspirin. Turning back to his screen, the young pharmacist realized that the old timer had been standing there the whole time—just lost in thought. Everyone had such interesting lives, even in CVS Pharmacy late afternoons.
