CVS Health has opened its first pharmacy-focused location in Texas, expanding a small-format store model the company is rolling out nationwide.
The approximately 3,000-square-foot Houston store is one of nearly 20 pharmacy-focused locations CVS plans to open in select communities, including two more in the greater Houston area over the next year, according to a July 17 press release.
The new Houston location offers prescription medications, immunizations and other pharmacy services, along with a curated selection of over-the-counter health products. The opening follows CVS’ March launch of its first pharmacy-focused location in Chicago. The company said it has also opened pharmacy-focused locations in Birmingham, Ala., Detroit and Washington, D.C., and plans to open more than 40 new CVS Pharmacy locations overall, including traditional stores and pharmacies inside Target.
