Expanding Our Reach Five years ago, CVS/pharmacy stores filled prescriptions in 4,098 stores in 26 states and the District of Columbia. Today, we fill prescriptions in 5,375 stores across 36 states and Washington, D.C. More than 1,300 stores—25 percent of our current store base—were built or acquired in new territories over the past five years. They have given us a substantial presence in some of America's fastest growing markets. |
