About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when CVS Pharmacy’s doors were supposed to be locked tight, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering in the aisles. ‘Who’s there?’ he called out, but no one answered. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw only empty shelves. Then, from behind him came a soft voice: 'Looking for something, sir?' Turned out it was just an excited CVS robot stocking the shelves. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering, 'Guess I’ll never be scared of robots delivering medicine.'

2. In the dead of night, when most pharmacies were already asleep, a delivery truck pulled up outside CVS Pharmacy. The moonlight reflected eerily off its shiny silver surface. The delivery driver knocked softly on the door, and an old security guard with sleepy eyes peered out. ‘What time is it?’ he grumbled. The driver replied, ‘Just a package for Ms. Jones.’ The guard nodded and said, ‘She’s not here anymore—she moved last week.’ They both laughed, and the driver walked away whistling, leaving behind a sign that read, “CVS Pharmacy: Open Even When Closed.”

3. Late one Friday afternoon, as a regular approached CVS Pharmacy's automatic doors, he noticed something odd: they were open just a crack. Curious, he pushed them wider and peered inside—only to see an elderly neighbor, lost in thought, holding a bottle of aspirin between his hands. ‘I must’ve dozed off,’ he mumbled, not realizing he’d left the door ajar for twenty minutes. The regular laughed it off, thinking, ‘At least no one called poison control!’

4. Late one Sunday morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to CVS Pharmacy, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a regular customer, Mr. Jenkins, dancing around the aisles to some old-time radio hits. ‘What in the world is going on here?’ thought the driver. Turns out, Mr. Jenkins had accidentally tuned his radio to a vintage station while waiting for his prescription. By the time the delivery driver left, both Mr. Jenkins and several other customers were happily swaying along, making CVS Pharmacy that day’s unofficial dance party.
