The Great Keystone State CVS Caper: Are Your Local Potions Disappearing?
Ah, Pennsylvania. Land of liberty bells, cheesesteaks, and...a surprising number of CVS locations. But hold on to your Emergen-C, folks, because rumors are swirling faster than a rogue milkshake machine about some CVS closures.
Fear Not, the Local Gossip Isn't Always Right (Especially About Uncle Steve)
Let's face it, sometimes news travels slower than a sloth on a sugar crash. The truth is, CVS did trim some fat from their national herd earlier this year, including a few locations in Pennsylvania. But fret not, these were mostly the CVS/Target hybrids that always seemed to have that awkward "step-pharmacy" vibe anyway.
However, if you're worried about your go-to spot for bargain candy and questionable greeting cards, here's the best way to stay informed:
- Channel Your Inner Sherlock: Grab your magnifying glass (or, you know, your phone) and head to the official CVS website. Their store locator is like a magic map to all things CVS-related, including closure announcements.
- Embrace the Power of Gossip (But Not Really): Okay, so maybe don't rely solely on Uncle Steve's pronouncements about the "changing times" at the checkout line. But, if you hear a rumor, use it as a springboard to do your own CVS-vestigation (investigation).
But Wait, There's More! (Because This is a Lengthy Post, Remember?)
Even though some CVS/Target love stories have ended, that doesn't mean the entire CVS Pennsylvania empire is crumbling. In fact, they're still out there, stocked with the essentials: bandaids for your social blunders, enough candy to fuel a small army, and those delightful greeting cards that say exactly what you don't mean.
Here's the gist:
- Unless you really loved the CVS/Target combo, you're probably safe.
- Check the store locator if you're worried about a specific location.
- CVS isn't going anywhere (although, they might be moving some deck chairs around).
