CVS plans to close stores,
distribution center in 2002
By BEN LEDBETTER
Staff Writer
CVS, which operates stores in
Cleveland and Gaston Counties
will close its Henderson distri-
bution center in the first three
months of 2002, which employs
160 people.
In an announcement last
Tuesday, the company said it
would close 200 stores in the
first quarter of 2002, and one of
ProCare’s two mail-order facili-
ties.
The remaining nine distribu-
tion centers will remain open.
The closest distribution cen-
ter to Henderson is
Fredricksburg, VA.
A company official said the
store closings will not be in a
specific geographic area, but in
a variety of areas.
No specific information was
. available on whether the store
closings would affect the ones
in Cleveland and Gaston
Counties.
Steve Cheatham, Assistant
Manager for the Kings
Mountain store, would not
“comment.
The nation’s largest drug
store chain has stores in
Bessemer City, Shelby, Kings
Mountain, and Boiling Springs.
According to a company web
site the store operates 274 stores
in North Carolina and 176 in
South Carolina.
The announcement would
not have an impact until CVS
made an announcement speci-
fying which stores would close.
