So???
Did they reopen the CVS store looted and burned during the Freddie Gray riots? I can imagine that store’s performance wasn’t the best.
“Drug store chain CVS is closing 46 locations, including three stores in Alabama.”
Shouldn’t have stopped selling tobacco like Prick’s stopped selling guns. Bad business decisions.
Is that good or bad?
The one in Montgomery is in a high crime area and probably had higher than normal shoplifting rates.
Too much mobile stock, I’d say.
Stopping the sale of cigarettes certainly did not help their bottom line.
High cost of cash-register tapes and ink?
CVS is my go-to pharmacy, so I took a look at the closures in my state.
California
- Antioch: 3130 Buchanan Rd
- San Francisco: 1285 A Sutter St
- San Francisco: 995 Market St
- Sun Valley: 9375 San Fernando Rd
The one closest to me is he one in Sun Valley.
I suspect that one is closing because it’s in the midst of a large population of illegal aliens.
I don’t frequent that area much, so I may be off base there. As a general rule, the San Fernando Valley has drifted from White Middle Class, to mostly Hispanic and poorer Hispanic at that. It’s not hard to see an illegal alien component to that.
The store wasn’t making enough margins, so it is closing.
Makes me wonder about the San Francisco locations. As expensive as that place is to live these days, it would be hard to see that being true.
CVS - I go there often for their great prices on greeting cards, hair products and holiday decorations.
Our local CVS is a train wreck.(It’s not on the “Closed” list.) The lines to pick up prescriptions are RIDICULOUS. Wait times can be half an hour. They’re too busy selling Hershey bars, Pepsi, and hair coloring to be bothered with medicine.
I fired CVS and went to our local “Mom & Pop” drugstore. Prices are slightly higher, but my blood pressure is much lower.
A healthy trade-off.
Recently went to CVS Minute Clinic, for the first time, for a shingles shot. I had an appointment. Once I signed the board showed my wait to be an hour and a half and they had just been open for an hour. I left and made another appointment. I was shocked at how few customers were in the store and then I got a look at their prices for every items. Grossly overpriced.
Illinois leads the pack with 7, including 4 in Chicago.
good. IIRC, these guys were in bed with Team Obama.
I despise cvs. They can go belly up for all I care. Leftist controlled company.
They are just closing stores that are not making any money.
Surprised they didn’t get one here. There’s a standalone CVS across the street from a Target with a CVS inside. There’s rarely any traffic in the stand-alone location.
The one closing in New Mexico is on the corner of Central and Louisiana, across from the fairgrounds.
That area now euphemistically known as the “International Zone” is what the locals call the “War Zone.” Crime is high with panhandlers and the homeless, plus lots of domestic violence and killings. Interesting that the store is being closed as the Dem Mayor is opening the fairgrounds to lots of illegals as there is no room down in El Paso (Santa Fe, a “sanctuary city” says they’re not welcome there).
