CVS: The pharmacy chain wants to concentrate fewer stores in certain weak markets, so it will trim its 9,900 units by about 300 a year for the next three years. CVS said the strategy will help redistribute its real estate network to markets with more promising future health needs. Closures will begin in the spring. “Our retail stores are fundamental to our strategy and who we are as a company,” said CVS Health president and CEO Karen Lynch. “We remain focused on the competitive advantage provided by our presence in thousands of communities across the country, which complements our rapidly expanding digital presence.”

On This Day: The new retail concept founded by fashion designer John Varvatos signed a 4,000-square-foot lease for a flagship at The Sunset, a mixed-use property in West Hollywood, California.

Macy’s Inc.: The retail conglomerate will launch a curated digital marketplace in the second half of 2022 to allow third-party merchants to sell goods on macys.com and bloomingdales.com. “Our digital business is targeted to generate $10 billion in sales by 2023, and we expect the new marketplace platform to produce incremental revenue on top of that target,” said Macy’s Inc. chief digital and customer officer Matt Baer. “The marketplace platform will enable us to expand our assortment at a low incremental cost while giving Macy’s customers easy access to even more product selection to meet their diverse needs.” Tech firm Mirakl, which created a similar market for Canadian department store chain Hudson’s Bay in March, will power the Macy’s online market.
