CVS Health Corp. on Monday said it is paying $1.9 billion to buy and run Target Corp. ’s pharmacies and clinics, giving the drugstore chain about 1,700 more locations to offer its growing health-care services.
As part of the deal, Target’s pharmacies will be rebranded as CVS/pharmacy and operate as separate stores within a store, while Target’s nearly 80 clinics will be changed over to CVS’s MinuteClinic banner.
