CVS Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early mornings, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Every night, an old lady would leave her shopping cart outside CVS Pharmacy, but never return for it. Curious, he followed the trail of empty shopping bags and found her sitting on a bench across the street, fast asleep with her purse clutched tightly in one hand. Turned out she was just too tired after grocery shopping and had dozed off. From then on, neighbors started calling her ‘Sleeping Beauty’ every morning.

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a CVS employee heard a strange sound coming from the storeroom. Each day, around the same time, it repeated like clockwork—an echoing hum that seemed to come from inside the medicine cabinets. One morning, curious about the noise, the employee opened the storeroom door just a crack—and found nothing but a row of smiling bottles waving hello. Turned out, the reflection of early-morning sunlight off the pill bottles created that eerie hum. From then on, everyone at CVS joked that their store had a secret life as a nightclub for inanimate objects.

3. At closing time, a young child entered the nearly empty store and pointed excitedly at the shelves. ‘Mom,’ she whispered, ‘look what’s moving!’ A tired pharmacist looked over and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the wall. Smiling gently, she reassured the girl, ‘It’s just our special CVS ghosts, sweetie.’ The little one nodded thoughtfully, then asked if she could come back tomorrow to see them again.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside CVS Pharmacy. ‘Why is the light on?’ he wondered aloud, peering through the window. As he approached the door, he heard a faint voice calling from inside: 'Next time use the intercom!' Turned out it was just an old lady who lived above the pharmacy, waving her cane at him from her balcony.
