The Franklin CVS store is closing next month after more than 20 years in business.

A sign board at the entrance reads “Our store is closing, but we’re still nearby.”

A sign posted to the doors says the store is closing Sept. 16. It directs customers to its location at 710 N. Main St. in Springboro. This is where prescriptions will be transferred, said Kara Page, manager of corporate communications for CVS Health.

There are more than 20 CVS Pharmacy locations across Warren and Montgomery counties and nearly 350 stores in Ohio, she said.

“Maintaining access to pharmacy services in the communities we serve is an important factor we consider when making store closure decisions. Other factors include local market dynamics, population shifts, a community’s store density and ensuring there are other geographic access points to meet the needs of the community,” Page said.

In its 2024 annual report, CVS said it would close about 270 retail stores in 2025. The company closed 900 stores between 2022 and 2024. CVS has more than 9,000 pharmacy locations, including those in Target stores.

The downtown Dayton CVS store closed Aug. 12, and in 2022, CVS shut down locations in Harrison Twp., Kettering, Moraine, Fairborn, Brookville and New Lebanon.

Employees of the Franklin CVS will be offered comparable roles within the company.
