Two Iowa CVS Locations Among 271 Closing Nationwide

As always, brick-and-mortar stores come and go. New spots open while others close due to lack of interest in the area or a variety of other reasons. CVS is no exception. Today we are looking at two locations.

While closings are never fun to see, CVS has been planning these for years as multiple closings keep happening. Cheapism went on to say,

In 2021, CVS announced that it was going to close stores in order to “optimize” its existing locations and pharmacies. Since then, the company has closed about 900 stores, according to USA Today. National pharmacy chains have been struggling since the pandemic with labor costs, competing online pharmacies, and smaller reimbursements for prescriptions.

As you know, CVS has announced plans to close hundreds of stores this year, with some locations already shut down. Here's what we know so far—including a list of the stores closing.

Iowa CVS Locations Closing

As of now for this year we have two locations closed.

It should be noted that this list comes from Cheapism, as there has been no official release of planned closings.

CVS did not release an official list of locations that are closing or any specific dates, but dozens of locations have already closed or have announced their closure already this year. If your pharmacy is on the list of closures, it’s best to call the location to make sure it’s still in business, and find out when it will close.
