Walgreens began life as a single, stand-alone drugstore. Over time, Walgreens built more stores around the country. CVS also began as a stand-alone drugstore; however, instead of just building CVS stores around the country, it also expanded its business umbrella over other drugstores and in conjunction with grocery stores during a long period of acquisitions. The benefit of this type of M&A is that customers who are used to going to a drugstore with a specific name will continue to go there. At times, some of the customers will not even realize the store is part of the CVS empire.

Walgreens and CVS drugstores have both changed over the years since their inceptions. Long after CVS entered new areas of business, Walgreens finally began to branch into new areas, including the acquisition of several other drugstores. CVS was the first of the two companies to create a walk-in health facility within its stores–the Minute Clinic–which handles non life-threatening illnesses and injuries. Eventually Walgreens also included a non life-threatening medical facility inside its stores, the Walgreens Healthcare Clinic.

Walgreens’ mission is to be America’s most-loved pharmacy-led health, well-being, and beauty retailer. Its purpose is to champion everyone’s right to be happy and healthy. Its pharmacists and technicians are focused on building closer relationships with their patients in the communities they serve. Diverse employees at Walgreens score the company 64/100 across various culture categories, placing Walgreens in the bottom 45% of companies in the United States with 10,000+ Employees for Comparably’s diversity score. The Diversity score provides insights into how diverse employees feel and rate their work experience at Walgreens across various culture dimensions. Walgreens ranks in the bottom 45% of other companies in the U.S. with 10,000+ Employees for Diversity Score (Comparably, n.d.).

CVS’s corporate vision and mission statements embody business aims in helping target customers maintain optimal health. CVS’ mission is to improve the lives of their customers “by making innovative and high-quality health and pharmacy services safe, affordable, and easy to access” (Comparably, n.d.). CVS’ vision statement is, “We strive to improve the quality of human life.” CVS’s organizational culture has an emphasis on corporate citizenship, in terms of support for stakeholders. Through its corporate culture, the company enhances its corporate image, as well as health care and retail pharmacy branding.

Introduction. Discuss the topic of the paper and how you will approach it. It is best to write this section after you have written the rest of the paper.

Be sure to apply the background material by supporting your writing with high-quality peer-reviewed journal articles found in the Trident Online Library.
