Folks,

Did anyone see the latest CVS Pharmacy ad? I saw the
last part of it...a chinook helicopter hoisting an enormous
W through a large city! It was cool! Not exactly subtle!
Does anyone know if the folks at
CVS are conservative by chance???? Wink

I saw it too. I thought the commercial was kinda dumb, but I also thought of Dubya when the big W was flying.

It has been on for about 3 weeks or more. Problem is that they are removing the W (I think it is supposed to be Walgreens) so if it has undertones, it wouldn't be a conservative message but a message of W being replaced.

CVS bought WalGreens from JC Penny I think making
it the largest Pharmacy in the country. They're
headquartered out of Rhode Island and I think
that they do a good job managing their business.

I don't know what their party affiliation is but they
make for a good trading stock. Kind of reminds me
of Dunkin Donuts. Another company that started
out in New England and is branching out to the
rest of the country.

I thought it was Eckerds that CVS bought from JC Penny who bought it from Jack Eckerds. We have all three in this area.

Yup. My brain archives are a bit corrupted. So what was the W then?

I can't remember the ad right now, at first I thought the exact same thing, W as in Dubya. However, the next time I listened to the words, and I concluded that it has to do with they are beating the compitition, Walgreens. But that is just guessing. Next time I see it, I'll watch it more carefully and remember what it is about.

CVS original name: Consumer Value Store(s). Not nearly as sexy as "CVS". Very Happy

I remember the stores from when I was a child.

Not really a fancy place but they seem to have lots of stuff that you need
for many of life's little needs.

It was Eckerds that CVS bought from JC Penney. We have them
both in Jacksonville, NC. Walgreen just built a HUGE store right
across from Eckerds. Go figure.
