clutchcity94 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Not the best pic, but I noticed all signage has been removed as of this afternoon. With all the recent activity in this area, has this lot also been purchased? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys typically sign very long term leases (25 years plus options) and this was just built recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was built in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Is it open? I guess that would be an easy way to find out what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 .... knock that ish down 😅 I'm guessing it is probably a signage update, but lets be real, with all of the development happening on Montrose Blvd in this area, and the large number of drug stores, it wouldn't be missed.

clutchcity94 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Mods- please close thread. I just called the CVS and they confirmed that they’re just changing the sign as part of their remodel. Lock ‘er up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(*footnote, i have never tried any alcohol, cigarettes, drugs of any kind in my life... #funfact 🙃 ) gene, I applaud your healthy life style. I believe it will serve you well. I was pleased to see CVS discontinue tobacco sales a few years back. I'm not a zealot but I think it is inconsistent for a concern that is supposed to be dedicated to good health to sell some of the things it did and still does. Of course, taken to an extreme CVS would also have to stop selling energy drinks, sodas made with sugar, most candy, and sugary cereals. I'm sure there are other items too and that would certainly go against the company's business model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 first off, thank you! it was a decision that was brought about from being there for my best friend 24 years ago when he was dealing with drug addition and alcoholism and more...i just wanted to always be there for him and not be part of the problem... (btw he's okay now and sober for 8 years and formed a band called Blue October!) and yes i definitely understand where you are coming from regarding CVS however these businesses have become more "convenience store" than pharmacy...i remember going to 7/11 or Stop N Go and now instead you go to a CVS or Walgreens and to keep it even more on subject, it seems like they wouldn't take down signage unless they were ready to replace the same day or next to prevent any confusion so i thought that was kind of weird!

That is kind of strange but maybe they're going to repaint before hanging an new sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
