About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a CVS employee noticed something odd on the store’s intercom: ‘Attention all customers—your prescriptions are now available in the shape of your favorite animals!’ Soon enough, bottles of aspirin turned into tiny horses, and boxes of Band-Aids became colorful dinosaurs. Soon, customers were lining up not just for their meds but for these adorable animal-shaped goodies. A delivery driver even showed up with a box full of panda-shaped cough drops. The manager had no idea what to do until a regular suggested selling them as novelty items. And thus, CVS became famous for more than just filling prescriptions—it was now known for its quirky animal-themed merchandise.

2. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the CVS and called out: ‘Hey, anyone seen my package? I just delivered it here five minutes ago!’ A pharmacist inside looked up and replied calmly, 'Sir, we've been open for an hour—nothing's come in.' The delivery driver scratched his head and said, 'Oh well, must've gone somewhere else!' And with that, he walked off, muttering something about CVS always getting everything wrong.

3. At dawn one day, a CVS pharmacist heard an unusual sound coming from the stockroom. Peering inside, he saw a small blue bird diligently arranging packets of aspirin in alphabetical order. Curious, the pharmacist watched as the bird carefully placed each packet, cooing softly to himself. Suddenly, another employee entered the room and asked, ‘What are you doing?’ The bird looked up, blinked once, then flew out through an open window, leaving behind only neatly organized medicine. Since that morning, locals joke that CVS has a secret avian assistant who helps during busy shifts.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the CVS and called out: 'Hey, did you hear that?' The pharmacist shrugged, but as he approached the counter, he realized there was indeed a strange humming noise coming from inside. As they peered into the dimly lit aisles, they saw nothing more than some humming refrigerators. Turns out, it was just an old air-conditioning unit acting up again. With a shrug, the pharmacist said, ‘Guess I’ll have to call maintenance tomorrow.’ A delivery driver laughed and replied, ‘At least it wasn’t ghosts!’
