San Ramon will soon be down to three CVS locations starting next month, with the pharmacy chain’s Marketplace store slated for closure in the coming weeks.
A CVS spokesperson confirmed to DanvilleSanRamon that the final day of operations for the store at 490 Market Place is set for April 17, at which point prescriptions will be transferred to another location in the city at 2455 San Ramon Valley Blvd.
“Patients can always choose to fill their prescriptions at any CVS Pharmacy, or the pharmacy of their choice, if another is more convenient,” said Amy Thibault, director of external communications for CVS.
Thibault said that employees of the soon-to-close store “are being offered comparable roles within the company.”
While officials did not provide details about what went into the decision to close the store, Thibault said that the ability to provide services at the other San Ramon locations was a factor, along with the dynamics of the local market and the city’s population.
“We’ll continue to provide the community with outstanding service at our three remaining locations in San Ramon, including CVS Pharmacy in Target,” Thibault said. “We also offer prescription home delivery service to eligible patients through CVS.com and the CVS Pharmacy app to provide additional convenient access to medications.”
The closure marks one more blow to retail options at the Marketplace Shopping Center to the south of the growing City Center Bishop Ranch, with a group of neighboring residents opposing a proposed mixed-use development that is set to see the demolition of 55,636 square feet of existing commercial space, including the former site of Nob Hill Foods and Sports Clips along with the space currently occupied by CVS.
The proposed redevelopment of the space is set to move forward following an appeal from the group Citizens Against Market Place Development, which was denied by the City Council in March 2023.
