Did you know that CVS stands for-"Consumer Value Store"?
That was the original name of the stores now popularly known as CVS.
CVS pharmacy's focus is to provide value to the costumers.
Their mission is to improve the value of human life.
CVS Caremark is a Fortune 25 Retailer with a $80 billion revenue.
CVS pharmacy is the leader in the pharmacy retail industry.

So, why is CVS a great neighborhood pharmacy?

CVS pharmacy not only provides value to the costumer they provide excellent services.
The services I like about my CVS neighborhood pharmacy are:
The staff provides professional and friendly costumer service.
CVS pharmacy provides a variety of products and services 24 hours per day.
There are food products, beauty supplies, gifts, perfumes, ethnic products, photo services and supplies and beautiful floral arrangements all at a value price.

The pharmacy service is excellent, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly.
When I call in for a refill I have the option of saying when I would like to pick up my medication and it is always ready when I arrive to do so. That is great service and a sign of respect for the costumer's time. There is also free advice from the pharmacist if needed.
Shopping on line at CVS is easy and the prices are reasonable. The free shipping pharmacy counter on line is a good deal.

My CVS pharmacy now offers a walk in minute clinic that provides fast professional services when needed. I love walking into CVS checking my blood pressure and finding out that it is within normal range. I must not forget about the "Extra Care Card" it offers great savings.
Most of all I love the after seasons' sales the deals are unbelievable.

While researching the CVS web-site I also found out that they provide Pharmacy Internship Programs and Store Management Development Programs for students with general business interest. This is a great educational opportunity for those who get the chance to pursue it. What a wonderful way for CVS to contribute to the good of the community?

CVS pharmacy plans to continue to lead the way in providing the best value and service to their costumers. These are some of the reasons why CVS is a great neighborhood pharmacy.
