~ As of December 30, 2006, the Retail Pharmacy business included 6,150 retail
drugstores, of which 6,058 operated a pharmacy, our online retail website,
CVS.com® and its retail healthcare clinics. The retail drugstores are located
in 40 states and the District of Columbia operating under the CVS® or
CVS/pharmacy® name. CVS/pharmacy® stores sell prescription drugs and a wide
assortment of general merchandise, including over-the-counter drugs, beauty
products and cosmetics, film and photo finishing services, seasonal
merchandise, greeting cards and convenience foods, which we refer to as front
store products. Existing stores generally range in size from approximately
8,000 to 18,000 square feet, although most new stores range in size from
approximately 10,000 to 13,000 square feet and typically include a drive-thru
pharmacy. As of December 30, 2006, we operated 146 retail healthcare clinics in
18 states under the MinuteClinic® name, of which 129 are located within CVS
retail drugstores. The clinics utilize nationally recognized medical protocols
to diagnose and treat minor health conditions and are staffed by
board-certified nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
