The pharmacy at the Janesville Schnucks store will close under a deal that will transfer ownership of most of the grocery chain’s pharmacies to CVS Pharmacy by later this year.
News of the closure came in a release circulated by United Food and Commercial Workers Local 655, a Missouri labor union representing Schnucks workers, saying that CVS plans to acquire up to 110 Schnucks pharmacies.
CVS and Schnucks have not disclosed exactly how CVS will operate the pharmacies. However, the union’s news release said the vast majority will be converted into CVS pharmacies and will remain operating in stores.
However, prescriptions from 11 Schnucks pharmacies—including the one in Janesville—will be transferred to the nearest CVS store, and those pharmacies will close.
The Janesville Schnucks is located about one block from a CVS store at 1700 Milton Ave.
