CVS in Greensboro on Spring Garden Street falls under the category of a retail site location. CVS has direct competition with Walgreen's -another convenience store that offers similar products. The parking for CVS is fine, but it is sometimes dangerous to turn into the parking lot when stuck in traffic because you have to cross a busy street. I think CVS has an okay location, however for some reason more students choose Walgreen's because of its more convenient and safe location which is located on the corner of Spring Garden directly across from UNCG, so therefore students may choose Walgreen's because they can walk to it easier. I personally choose CVS most of the time because it offers pretty much the same products as Walgreen's except one can find cheaper or more affordable prices at CVS. Maybe this price difference is due to the fact that Walgreen's offers more than CVS so it is some what more upscale when shopping for every day items. CVS has a lot more locations than Walgreen's, so maybe even though Walgreen's is advertised a lot as being an "affordable store that offers a more variety of products," the store locations are sometimes rare depending on the location or city one is shopping in.
