All prescriptions will be transferred 1.25 miles away to the nearby CVS Pharmacy at 2801 Far Hills Ave. in Kettering. The company also said all store employees are being offered comparable roles at other nearby locations.
CVS Health said in a statement that it will reduce store density in certain locations and close about 300 stores per year for the next three years. Nationally, the pharmacy chain has bout 9,900 stores.
There are 25 additional CVS locations across Montgomery and Greene counties.
It’s not clear if any more of the stores in the Dayton area will close as part of this process.
The company said in a statement to the Dayton Daily News that the decision to close stores over the course of the next three years “follows a deep analytical look at changes in population, consumer buying patterns and future health needs.”
As part of its review of its retail business, CVS Health said it will also create new store formats with three distinct models: sites for primary care services; traditional pharmacy stores, and an enhanced version of HealthHUB locations, which have supplies and products but also spaces for helping people with some chronic conditions.
