Drug store chain CVS is closing more than 250 stores in the coming months as part of wider restricting efforts.

Newsweek reported closures are planned for stores in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

In its February financial filings, CVS said the closures came after a "strategic review" of its retail business designed to "streamline and simplify the organization, improve efficiency and reduce costs."

A spokesperson told Newsweek the closures were based on multiple factors including population changes, consumer buying patterns, store and pharmacy density, access to other pharmacies and community health needs.

The CVS closures are just the latest for drugstore chains. Walgreens announced earlier this month it planned to close as many as 500 "underperforming" locations this year. In 2024, CVS closed dozens of its locations in Target stores. From 2022 to 2024, an estimated 900 CVS stores shut down.
