About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the CVS Pharmacy closed its doors, a strange voice would occasionally crackle over the intercom. ‘Please return your flying unicorns to their proper aisles,’ it would say in a cheery tone. One evening, a delivery driver heard the message and thought it was a prank. He replied, ‘Excuse me, but I’m pretty sure unicorns don’t come in boxes!’ The voice then giggled sweetly and said, ‘No, they don’t—just the diabetic supplies.’ Everyone agreed that CVS had a unique sense of humor.

2. Late one afternoon, while browsing through the aisles of CVS Pharmacy, a little girl pointed excitedly at an empty shelf and whispered, ‘Mommy, where did all the bandaids go?’ Her mom smiled gently, glancing around before whispering back, 'They must be having a sale, honey.' Just then, a nearby delivery driver chuckled, shaking his head and muttering under his breath, 'Guess they forgot to restock today!'

3. At closing time, an elderly gentleman often lingered outside the CVS Pharmacy. One day, he announced loudly, ‘I’ll be back tomorrow—same time, same place!’ The employees laughed it off, but soon enough, they began noticing him again every evening. Finally, one evening a young employee dared to ask him, ‘Sir, do you always come here at the same time?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, ‘Just trying to catch the sunset, sonny.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, he was known as the Sunset Regular.

4. On foggy mornings, when most people were still dreaming, a mysterious figure could be seen wheeling boxes into the backroom of CVS Pharmacy. One day, an excited delivery driver arrived with a giant box labeled ‘Top Secret.’ The pharmacist frowned but accepted it anyway. Months later, on another foggy morning, everyone gathered as the mysterious figure rolled out a life-sized cardboard cutout of a smiling CVS mascot. It turned out that the secret package was actually just a promotional stunt for the store’s anniversary—everyone had a good laugh and free donuts.
