About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At CVS Pharmacy, a regular customer complained loudly one day: ‘Why does it take forever for anyone to notice when I’m standing here?’ Suddenly, an impatient delivery driver behind her exclaimed, ‘Hey, lady! If you’re done complaining, maybe someone will finally notice!’ The pharmacist overheard and smiled, waving cheerfully as she called out, ‘Next time, just raise your hand like everyone else—we’ll get to you right away!’

2. At CVS Pharmacy, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked with a twinkle in his eye, 'Do you sell aspirin for headaches or happiness?' The pharmacist smiled but had no ready answer. Finally, another customer chimed in, ‘Sir, I believe both are sold next door at the grocery store!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the old man who winked and walked away whistling. Since then, whenever someone asks if they carry happiness, the staff just points them towards the exit sign.

3. At CVS Pharmacy, a voice crackled over the intercom one morning: 'Attention, everyone—we’re out of Band-Aids, but in unlimited supply of patience!' A few minutes later, another voice came on: ‘And just so you know, we’ve also run out of aspirin—but don’t worry, our sense of humor is still stocked!’ A delivery driver outside overheard and quipped, ‘Guess I’ll just take some patience with my band-aids then.’

4. At CVS Pharmacy, in the dead of night when most pharmacies are dark, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from inside. Employees shrugged it off as just the air conditioning until customers started reporting seeing strange lights flickering behind the shelves. Then one night, an elderly neighbor popped by and asked if anyone had seen his lost cat. A security guard joked, ‘I saw her running towards the neon sign outside!’ Turns out, it was just a stray light bug caught in the display window. Since then, everyone agrees that CVS is open twenty-four seven—even for lost pets.’
