Store Location

I, myself go to CVS to fill all of my perscriptions. There are a few main reasons as to why, however, I never really noticed it before this assignment. I go to the CVS on Battleground because it is convienant and it is just what I am used to. The location is good because it is in the middle of Battleground, so many people pass it on their way to work, or on their way home. Because it is such a central location, it is easy for families or anyone on the go to just stop by and get what they need.

The inside layout is great because it is pretty much the same for each CVS you go to, which is always nice because it gets you in and out quicker. As many other retailers of this type, the checkout has many basic/staple things to make you linger, as well as help the impulse purchasing. It often has many magazines that you will read while you are in line, and then when it is your turn you want to finish the magazine so you will purchase it. The checkout is also where the impulse candy buying is done. It is a stress reliever for many, but many young kids nag their parents until they buy it for them.

I love CVS because it is convienant and a quick stop as mentioned before; however, the only downfall to this location is the parking and traffic. Yes, it is a good spot and everyone can see it while they are traveling to place to place, however it is a nightmare to get both in and out of the parking lot. There is a dip in one of the entrances, as well as is close to another turn lane which ive seen many close call accidents occur. If you exit at the other direction, there is a stop sign right by the pharmacy drive thru that you can't really see from the opposite direction. This is the only downfall to the store that ive seen, so if the parking area was different, that would be the only change I would make to hopefully increase customers. Otherwise, CVS is doing a great job with its service and layout!
