In ShortFirst opened in 1963 in Lowell, Mass., under the name Consumer Value Stores, this drugstore chain is among the largest in the country. Stores carry a variety of products, from baby supplies, home health equipment and vitamins to toys and greeting cards. Most locations offer Healthy Skin Care Centers, located near the pharmacy, which emphasize beauty as a health issue, and employ a skin care technician to educate customers about European and dermatologist-backed brands like Vichy.
The Inside Scoop
- The Extras - Many CVS stores are open 24 hours, or have extended business hours. Check the CVS website to find the location nearest you.
- Save Money - Sign up for the store's ExtraCare program and earn two percent on purchases with coupons printed on the bottom of receipts. ExtraCare participants also receive free merchandise when they purchase participating products. See the CVS website for details.
Reviews for CVS/pharmacy
CVS's seem to have taken over the stand-alone drug store market in this area except for an occasional Walgreens. I have tried their CVS brand OTC generic medicines and health products and don't notice much difference from major brands except the price is lower. They have a nice selection of greeting cards- I have always been able to find one appropriate for the occasion.
