Executive Summary
CVS/REVCO COMBINATION WOULD CREATE LARGEST EAST COAST CHAIN, with a total of about 4,000 stores in Eastern and Midwestern locations. The CVS/Revco chain would be somewhat shy of the 4,500 outlets that would have resulted from a Rite Aid/Revco merger but would be significantly larger than next-runner-up Rite Aid, which has 2,800 stores in its Eastern region.
