Construction has now been completed on the new CVS Store and Pharmacy on Central Avenue. The drugstore relocated from their store in Hannaford Plaza to a brand-new freestanding location across the street. The new store is about four times the size of the old store, and also offers a new photography lab and a larger pharmacy with drive-thru service, said Alisha Snyder, Shift Supervisor. The store is reorganized around a new open floor plan, making the store seem brighter and more accessible. The store also carries more items, she said.
The store was at its former plaza location for about 20 years, and the corporate offices decided it was "time for an upgrade," Snyder said. The store employs 20 workers, including 8 pharmacy members.
The store opens as reconstruction begins at the west end of Central Avenue. The Avenue improvement project is a a 15 million dollar renovation project. The entrance to the store has a traffic light, but there are some difficulties getting across the intersection from the Hannaford supermarket plaza, she said. Part of the improvements to the west end should help make the new CVS easier to get to from the near by neighborhood.
