WOONSOCKET, R.I. — CVS Pharmacy’s largest location featuring its new store format is now open to shoppers at the “crossroads of the world.” The company’s new two-story flagship Times Square location features CVS Pharmacy’s expanded health and beauty focused format the company rolled out earlier this year.
