Introduction
In recent months, most of my articles on the stalwart CVS/Pharmacy chain have related to the company’s November 18, 2021 announcement of 900 store closures over the ensuing three years, which you can read about on CVSHealth.com.
Now comes word that another longstanding west coast CVS location is permanently closing, per that initiative, as a downtown San Francisco store shutters on October 23rd.
Let us explore.
CVS/Pharmacy, 2023
According to a September 21st report from The-Sun.com, as with other recent company closings throughout the U.S., the upcoming San Francisco closure will also see the transference of customer prescriptions to other locations.
As excerpted from the report: The South of Market location is scheduled to close on October 23 with all existing customers being transferred to another location. According to a company spokesperson, all prescriptions will go to the CVS store on Van Ness Avenue.
Quoting a spokesperson who spoke to the San Francisco Chronicle: “Maintaining access to pharmacy services in the communities we serve is an important factor we consider when making store closure decisions.
The upcoming closing is reportedly strategic in nature, and based on a performance review.
