CVS Reopens Palisades Store, Completes Post-Fire Repairs

PACIFIC PALISADES, CA — Nine months after it was damaged by the Palisades Fire, the CVS Pharmacy has reopened on Swarthmore Avenue.

The store celebrated its reopening on Friday after months of repairs.

The rebuilt store features an expanded pharmacy, private consultation and vaccination area, improved in-store delivery pickup area, and updated layout, decor and fixtures, according to the company.

The initial product mix reflects the needs of those currently shopping in the area, which CVS expects to be largely construction teams. That includes an expanded range of grab-and-go foods, snacks and drinks.

The product offerings will shift in the coming months and years to reflect the needs of the community as it rebuilds, CVS said.

“After months of hard work, we’re thrilled to welcome back customers to our Swarthmore Avenue CVS Pharmacy store,” said Michael Ibrahim, CVS division vice president. “From the day the wildfires devastated the area, our commitment to the community has been unwavering, and I want to thank the store team for working tirelessly over the last several months to reopen this location. With community rebuilding efforts underway, we’re focused on ensuring hardworking first responders, construction workers and community members have access to the products they need.”
