I chose to go to the CVS on Spring Garden. CVS is categorized as a pharmacy. There are many location advantages that this particular CVS has. The first advantage is that it is located within close walking distance of a populated college campus giving the CVS permanent steady traffic throughout the day. Another advantage of its location is that unlike the new Walgreens, u can access through coming from either direction of traffic. I think another plus for CVS is that it is right across the street from a gas station so if there is something that a customer needs that the gas station doesnt have they can easily cross the street and grab what they need. One of the disadvantages of its location is that it is extremely close to walgreens. Being that there is so much traffic during the day, the entrance to CVS can be a bit hard to get into and traffic coming out of the CVS can be dangerous at times. Since it is located so close to campus there is a lot of pedestrian traffic in front of the CVS on the sidewalk and can cause some issues at times getting in and out. The parking situation is pretty good. They have the slanted parking spaces which are easier to get in and out of. I think that this location, overall, is a great location for a pharmacy. I personally am a regular user and couldnt live without it.
