About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an ordinary CVS Pharmacy, afternoons were always quiet until one day, a little girl pointed and whispered to her mother: ‘Look, Mommy, that bottle talks!’ Everyone looked up—and sure enough, a new shipment of vitamins seemed to be humming softly. A delivery driver stopped mid-step, his truck’s engine stuttering as if in agreement. The manager, rubbing his eyes, declared it must be the air conditioning. But when a neighbor popped in for Band-Aids, she giggled and said, ‘It sounds like they’re having a vitamin sing-along today.’ And so, for the next hour, everyone in line joined in—singing along to whatever song those bottles were humming.

2. In the early mornings, when most pharmacies are still asleep, a mysterious figure began leaving boxes outside the CVS Pharmacy in downtown Brooklyn. No one knew who it was or what was inside. One day, a neighborhood kid found an old board game among the deliveries and thought it was left accidentally. He took it home and played with friends until someone recognized the logo—an ancient version of CVS’s mascot! Since then, kids from nearby schools visit every morning, trading games for their daily meds.

3. In a sleepy neighborhood, every night around midnight, a faint humming sound would come from inside the CVS Pharmacy. At first, only a delivery driver noticed it, but soon others started hearing too. One night, an elderly neighbor decided to investigate and knocked on the door. The pharmacist looked up from his computer with a puzzled expression and said, 'Good evening! We’re closed now.' The old man replied, ‘I heard you were open twenty-four hours!’ From then on, whenever anyone heard the humming, they’d just joke that maybe CVS had hired a night owl to keep things stocked.’

4. At closing time, a sign appeared on CVS Pharmacy’s door: ‘Tomorrow is Saturday—Last Chance for Weekday Prices!’ The next morning, everyone checked back, but the prices remained unchanged. A delivery driver joked, ‘Guess they forgot to set the weekend mode.’ A regular customer quipped, ‘Maybe they’ll finally lower prices after Labor Day.’ By Monday, the sign was gone, and everyone shrugged—it seemed like just another CVS mystery.
