Dissecting C:V:S: The 'V' for "Value-less" Store - 8min Walkthrough in an empty CVS, likely to close

Exploring a CVS drugstore in Niles, IL, I'm struck by the shifting landscape of retail. While I typically frequent Walmart, the noticeable decline in CVS stores across the northern Chicagoland suburbs has caught my attention.
Financially, CVS appears stable for now, but upon entering the store, one can't help but notice the potential challenges ahead. It seems like CVS is attempting to be a one-stop-shop, offering everything from groceries to electronics. However, the prices leave much to be desired, raising questions about the store's appeal beyond its pharmacy's convenience.
Recent news of layoffs, including the layoff of 5,000 employees in November 2023, underscores the company's efforts to adapt to changing consumer needs while trimming expenses. Despite its storied history, tracing back to its founding in 1963 as Consumer Value Stores (CVS) by Stanley and Sidney Goldstein and Ralph Hoagland, CVS faces a pivotal moment.
Originally beginning as a chain of health and beauty aid stores, CVS expanded its offerings to include pharmacies, marking the start of its growth trajectory. Joining the Melville Corporation, managing various retail businesses, further fueled its expansion. In 1996, CVS Corporation spun off from Melville, becoming a standalone entity trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
The acquisition of Aetna in 2018 was a significant move, positioning CVS as a major player in the healthcare industry. However, challenges persist, with layoffs and store closures looming amidst an inflationary period.
The future of CVS Health hinges on its ability to navigate these challenges while continuing to evolve and meet consumer expectations. Join me as we capture this moment at CVS, reflecting on its rich history and contemplating its future in the retail and healthcare landscape.
