CONNEAUT — CVS Pharmacy has closed — and opened — a store in Conneaut over the weekend.
The company took the wraps off its new 12,000-square-foot store Saturday at State and Mill streets. The new $2 million operation takes the place of a smaller store that had been a fixture at the Gateway Plaza shopping center for many years. Workers were removing the sign from the front of the old store Monday morning.
Plenty of customers inspected Conneaut’s newest retail arrival over the weekend, according to reports. The store’s manager deferred comment to CVS’s company headquarters. Officials could not be reached Monday afternoon.
The store’s arrival had been in the works for more than a year. CVS representatives outlined plans for the store to the city’s zoning board of appeals in May 2007.
Six houses and a restaurant on the 1.5-acre parcel were demolished in the fall.
Construction started in December but came to a halt one month later when 60 mph winds pushed scaffolding into a newly erected wall, knocking it to the ground. The project was pushed back a few weeks while workers repaired the damage, officials said.
The new store contains products and services, including photo developing and a drive-through pharmacy, not found at the old plaza location.
Employees at the plaza site were invited to transfer to the downtown site. Conneaut’s new store is the size that typically employs around 24 people, company officials have said.
