About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon, when CVS Pharmacy doors opened, a little girl would always run inside, grab an empty bottle of vitamins off the shelf, and hide behind the counter. The cashiers never knew why she did it—until one day they caught her laughing and pointing at something only she could see. Finally curious, a manager peeked around the corner and saw a fly buzzing in circles above the bottle. Everyone burst out laughing as the girl giggled, ‘It’s dancing!’

2. At night, after closing hours, an old man began leaving cryptic notes in the CVS pharmacy’s restroom mirror. They read: ‘The best medicine is kindness.’ Employees found it odd but amusing until one note appeared in red ink. Finally, a mysterious note simply said, ‘Don’t forget to smile!’ The next morning, employees discovered that someone had drawn hundreds of tiny smiles all over the mirrors. From then on, customers left CVS with a little extra cheer—and maybe even a free lollipop from the smiling pharmacist.

3. At midnight, when CVS Pharmacy's security lights flickered on, a delivery driver started noticing strange messages scribbled in pencil on the inside of the pharmacy door. They read: 'Take two and call me tomorrow.' Curious, he took one of the pencils himself and wrote back: ‘Half a dozen and I’ll see you at noon.’ The next morning, a new message appeared: “You’re fired—CVS.”

4. At dawn, when most pharmacies are still locked tight, a mysterious figure started appearing outside CVS Pharmacy. It was just an ordinary-looking cat, but it never left until someone fed it a bag of chips from the vending machine inside. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early and saw the cat again. Thinking quickly, he bought a bag of chips himself and tossed it through the window. The cat pounced happily, then vanished into the shadows. From that day on, whenever anyone forgot their lunch or snacks, they’d see the cat outside, reminding them with a little meowing.}
