In the KQEN Business Spotlight:

Thirteen Oregon communities are getting CVS pharmacies by the end of September, but Roseburg is not one of them.

CVS Pharmacy spokesperson Amy Thibault told News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN that the chain is planning to purchase and convert former Rite-Aid stores in Aloha, Ashland, Beaverton, Bend, Clackamas, Corvallis, Eugene, Grants Pass, Lake Oswego, Prineville, Redmond, Springfield and Tigard. Thibault said the company did not acquire any assets of the Roseburg Rite Aid location on Northwest Garden Valley Boulevard.

After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May for the second time in two years, Rite Aid announced plans to close nearly all its stores across the country. CVS Pharmacy has over 9,000 locations across the United States, making it the largest retail pharmacy chain in the country.

Roseburg now has three vacant former Rite Aid locations. Along with the property on Garden Valley Boulevard, there are two empty buildings in downtown Roseburg that used to house a Rite Aid store.
