About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning hours, when CVS Pharmacy's doors were just opening, a delivery driver noticed something unusual. A small dog kept running towards the entrance, barking excitedly every time the automatic door slid open. Finally, the delivery driver picked up the little fellow and carried him inside. To everyone’s surprise, the dog ran straight to the counter where his owner—a regular customer—was waiting with a big smile. Turns out, he was always late picking up his prescription.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached CVS Pharmacy’s loading dock, he heard an odd sound coming from inside the store. Peering through the window, he saw something that made him laugh so hard he almost dropped his packages. Inside, an old man was trying to pay for his groceries using an ancient credit card. The cashier kept declining it with a smile, explaining that it had expired decades ago. The delivery driver burst out laughing, realizing why everyone called this place ‘the time machine.’

3. At midnight, when most pharmacies are quieting down for the day, a delivery truck pulled up to CVS Pharmacy. The driver noticed an unusual figure standing outside, whispering something into the night. The driver got out curiously and asked what the figure wanted. It turned out to be just a neighborhood cat, meowing insistently because its water bowl was empty. The delivery guy filled it up with bottled water from his lunch break, and ever since then, every time he delivers to CVS, he makes sure to bring extra bottles of water for the grateful feline friend.

4. At dusk, when CVS Pharmacy's neon sign flickered on, a neighborhood cat began appearing every night. It would sit outside the glass door, staring intently at something inside—until one day, a curious child followed its gaze and saw an illuminated display that wasn’t there before. Curious as could be, the kid pointed at the glowing image of a candy cane that seemed to materialize out of thin air. Suddenly, the pharmacist turned around and yelled, ‘Hey! That’s not supposed to be lit!’ A delivery driver overheard and quipped, ‘Maybe it’s just trying to get your attention for a sale.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, the cat was seen less often—but whenever someone mentioned CVS after dark, they’d wink knowingly.
