LaGrange Corley drugstores to merge with CVS
by Sherri Brown, Staff Writer
Four LaGrange Corley drugstores will merge with CVS by Memorial Day. The merger was announced Thursday by Scott Burton, president of Southeastern Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the company that owns Corley Drugs. “Southeastern Pharmaceuticals, Inc., has agreed to merge the four LaGrange Corley Drugs with CVS. They have been making inquiries for several years, with negotiations in earnest this last year. After careful consideration of the uncertainties in our political and economic futures, our board of directors decided to accept the CVS proposal,” Burton said in a prepared statement. Current plans are that the Corley Drugs’ South Greenwood Street store will merge with the CVS on Morgan Street; the Airport Road store will merge with CVS in Sawmill Plaza; and the S. Davis Road store will merge with CVS on Hogansville Road. The North Greenwood Street store will remain open under the CVS name until a larger CVS store is built.

This is a crying shame. A disgrace for the city and our community. If I wanted to shop at CVS, I would have gone there in the first place. Corley's has always been like family to me. CVS will be nothing more than "give us your perscription and get out you number you!". I, for one will find another place for my medical needs. It will not be CVS, it will never be Wal-Mart and there is little to no chance for Kroger. I prefer to deal with people who know me and my needs rather than being just another business opportunity. How will they know what is right or wrong for me or others? This is unforgiveable!

"Merge" really means CVS bought out Corley's. All Corley's will close down and you have the option of keeping your records at CVS now. This is not a merge.
