CVS to Open More Stores in 2026 Than It Shuts in Retail Turnaround

CVS Health Corp. plans to open more pharmacies than it closes in 2026, marking the end of a four-year contraction for the largest American retail pharmacy chain.

CVS will open about 60 stores this year, including nearly 20 small pharmacy-only sites, spokesperson Amy Thibault said. The company will also close a few dozen locations, she said.
