National Pharmacy Chain Debuts Its First Pharmacy-Focused Store in Houston
CVS Health has opened its first CVS Pharmacy store in Houston. It features a smaller-format store design to address local healthcare needs. The Houston store is part of CVS Health’s plan to open nearly 20 pharmacy-focused locations nationwide. Located at 8503A Gulf Freeway in south Houston, the new pharmacy-focused CVS Pharmacy offers prescription medications, immunizations, pharmacist consultations, and a select range of over-the-counter products. Pharmacy-driven locations average 3,000 sq. ft., with greater focus on medication guidance and counseling, as well as pharmacist support. The new format is part of CVS Health’s ongoing efforts to improve its retail footprint. The company is improving access to pharmacy services in communities where demand continues to evolve. The company has announced plans to open almost 20 new stores with a pharmacy focus across the country. Houston joins Birmingham, Chicago, Detroit, and Washington, D.C. as cities with a pharmacy-focused CVS location. CVS plans to open two more pharmacy-only stores in the greater Houston area within the next year.
