CVS President and CEO Larry Merlo said he envisions "CVS Pharmacy evolving from not just a store that hap- pens to have a pharmacy and products" into "more of a healthcare destination." Mr. Merlo added that CVS will continue to offer retail prod- ucts, though retail sales grew only 1.5 percent in the first nine months of 2018. CVS already has MinuteClinic loca- tions at many of its stores, but in the wake of the Aetna deal the company will branch into other comprehensive, community-based healthcare services. "Our goal is to have some concept stores operating early next year [2019]," said Mr. Merlo. "I'm sure we'll get some tremendous learnings from those first stores." n
