CVS is planning a new approach to expansion-- downsizing. CNN reports the drugstore chain is opening around a dozen new stores this year. But the new shops won’t have the traditional CVS format stocked with toiletries, beauty products, and snacks. Instead, the smaller format store will only have a pharmacy.

CVS is looking to grow itself by shrinking. The pharmacy chain is opening around a dozen stores this year that are about the half the size of its traditional layout and have only a pharmacy — ditching the front-end of the store that traditionally has sold snacks, greeting cards and other consumer staples.
