CVS is gearing up to shut down 271 more locations by the end of 2025, adding to the nearly 900 stores it already closed between 2022 and 2024.
The move is part of what the company calls an “enterprise-wide restructuring plan,” outlined in its annual report earlier this year.
CVS says it’s been working on this plan since 2021, strategizing to keep up with shifting shopping habits and scale back its store count.
Why is CVS closing stores?
In a statement to Newsweek, a CVS spokesperson said the company looked at several factors before deciding which stores to close—everything from local population changes to community health needs.
They also reviewed pharmacy and store density, overall access, and buying patterns.
Despite the scale of the closures, CVS said that most customers won’t feel the impact. The company says 85% of Americans will still live within 10 miles of a CVS pharmacy even after these stores are gone.
