In the letter addressed to CVS President and Chief Executive OfficerLarry J. Merlo, Festersen said CVS "has failed to perform even the basic level of maintenance on the site."

Festersen said the site is "a blight on the neighborhood."

CVS bought the property with the intention of building a new store. Construction was to begin in 2009.

The council president said CVS has not responded to several inquiries he has made concerning the site's care and development.

Festersen said he is instructing the Planning and Law Departments to "pursue any and all avenues to force CVS to mow and maintain the site...remove deteriorating chain link fence, and conduct further grading on the site."

The council president ends the letter stating he is "disappointed in CVS as a corporate citizen" and plans to encourage other council members to unfavorably view any other development and liquor license requests until a "favorable response" is received.

I could see that as a good use, especially if Bucky's moves to the west as alluded to here.

Maybe 10 years or so. It has horrible access from the east. And just try to go west after you filled up.

It's a safe guess that we will lose some.

The 900 store closure represents 10% of all CVS locations nationwide. I did a search and there are 15 Omaha area CVS locations. Using the 10% math, closing 10% of the Omaha metro locations means losing 1.5 stores. I’d probably say it’s likely 1 or 2 locations in the metro get shuttered.. Just to provide some context to the numbers..It’s also possible all Omaha metro locations are spared too..

We’ll see…

I'm assuming the 15 store figure doesn't include the pharmacies inside Target?

I believe its freestanding stores that have a close proximity to others.
