About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when CVS Pharmacy should have been quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The lights in one aisle seemed brighter than usual, almost as if someone was moving around. Curious but cautious, he approached slowly—only to see an old man carefully rearranging bottles of aspirin. As the driver got closer, he saw that the old man was humming softly to himself and occasionally glancing at his watch. Turned out, it wasn’t aspirin he was arranging—it was candy! The old gentleman explained with a twinkle in his eye that he liked to ‘stock up’ for Halloween. Everyone laughed, and from then on, neighbors brought him extra treats during October.

2. Late one night, while browsing the aisles of CVS Pharmacy, a little boy pointed excitedly at an empty shelf. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘where did all the Band-Aids go?’ ‘They must be in stockroom, honey,’ his mom replied calmly, bending down to smile. Just then, a sleepy-eyed pharmacist appeared from behind the counter and chuckled, “Actually, ma’am, we had a delivery driver grab a few boxes for his own first aid kit.” The boy looked puzzled until another customer—a friendly neighbor—nodded knowingly and said, “It’s okay, kid. It happens every time!”

3. At closing time, when the last customer had left, an employee in the CVS Pharmacy heard a strange humming sound coming from the medicine cabinets. Curious, he approached and noticed that one of the bottles was slightly ajar. Turning around, he saw a delivery driver adjusting his hat with a mischievous smile. ‘Medicine for your hearing aid,’ whispered the driver. The employee laughed, realizing it was just another prank from their friendly neighborhood pharmacist.

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, an employee in the CVS noticed something strange on the pharmacy’s intercom: ‘Please pick up your flying monkeys from the front desk.’ Confused, he walked over and pressed the button. Suddenly, a small child appeared with a smile, holding onto two fluffy plush toys labeled ‘flying monkey.’ Turning around sheepishly was a regular who’d just picked up his prescription. ‘Oh,’ she said, laughing, ‘I forgot I asked my kid to bring them back!’
