Fayetteville said goodbye to CVS Pharmacy Thursday afternoon, in light of the store’s last day of business in Lincoln County.
Fayetteville City Mayor Michael Whisenant said he was surprised and was not notified of its closing but was relieved it was not a business unique to Fayetteville. Since the premises were still occupied Thursday, there are no other businesses lined up to occupy the space.
Back in November 2021, CVS announced plans to close 900 stores or a total of 300 per year for three years. CVS has approximately 10,000 stores across the nation.
According to a recent article in The Business Journal, CVS will be adjusting the remaining stores into three types: sites that are dedicated to offering primary care services, an enhanced version of HealthHub locations and the traditional CVS Pharmacy store.
In a statement in The Business Journal, a CVS spokesperson said some of the factors they consider when making store closure decisions include local market dynamics, population shifts, a community’s store density and ensuring that there are other geographic access points to meet the needs of the community.
CVS national media did not respond to inquiries from The Times regarding the closing.
