NancyB Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 There will be another CVS built at the northeast corner of I-10 and Gessner. There is already one at I-10 and Voss (?). I just wonder if they really need one there, as a lot of the same stuff they sell can be purchased for a lot less at Target across the freeway. I know Target is not nearly as convenient, but prices are pretty important these days. What do you all think of CVS in general as a place to shop?

CoolBuddy06 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 When people get out of Memorial Hermann 2 blocks south, they will come to that complex, turn in their prescriptions and get a sandwich while their meds are being filled. Plus they will get all those little household stuff at CVS instead of making another trip to Target. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barracuda Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I haven't shopped at a CVS ever since they built their massive parking lot lined eyesores in Midtown. Dispensing pills must be a high-margin business though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieDidIt Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yes it is. I know.It's on the other side of the freeway, so it will work. I don't think there are any drug stores along the north feeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dispensing pills must be a high-margin business though. QFT. Want to see something scary? My company's invoice for one week of prescription drug claims for our employees and their dependents: $514,601.80. That's one week. Of only Rx claims. No medical.

LTAWACS Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Awesome. Pretty soon select CVS locations will now have another CVS INSIDE them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Will it be a standard CVS, or will one side be at least "Street Side"? Aren't they trying to densify that part of Memorial City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Awesome. Pretty soon select CVS locations will now have another CVS INSIDE them.Actually this will be a welcome addition to the area, and a smart business move by CVS considering that it will be the only pharmacy somewhat connected to the medical center. Anyway, as bad as the North side of the freeway is, a CVS will do nothing but help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Wahoo Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 CVS is generally open 24 hours, so it's useful for people that work long hours and can't get to a Target before they close at 9 or whenever they close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they trying to densify that part of Memorial City?You know companies like this don't give a S**t about making Houston dense. Look at the CVS they put in Midtown Houston parking all around, and look at the ones they put in Uptown Dallas and Midtown Atlanta, Urban. They don't care about Houston because there is no zoning and there are no people to tell them the way that it would best fit a neighborhood.

Mr. Chenevert Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Walgreens, CVS, and Starbucks business model doesnt use the standard profit per store financial approach. Instead, they use a profit per customer concept. If building a store 1 mile away from an existing store, or across the street from a competitor brings in new customers, then it is worth building the store per their business model.So even though you see stores so close together that it seems silly, according to their research, it allows them to bring in more customers.

Victor B Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I really hope the shopping center across the street gets a makeover. If Gessner could experience what Bunker Hill did, then I'd be a really happy person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
