Or RISD for that matter. BTW, the CVS in Kennedy Plaza in PVD is one
of the worst I've ever been to.

It looks more like a case of CVS using Penn, etc. to expand its
geographical saturation of West Philadelphia. From one store they
moved to two. From CVS' viewpoint, the opening of a new store and
the moving of an older store are two necessary parts of the same
problem.
The old Acme building was an eyesore on the neighborhood that
people tried in vain for years to redevelop. Step One was to get
the owner to move the property. People with long memories will
recall how hard that was! Step Two was to solicit a new occupant
for it. Without a doubt, since selling involves talking, CVS
"listened to" somebody's presentation at some point.
But CVS's ultimate decision was based on bottom-line, profit-
driven, market-oriented considerations that were entirely decided
in Providence, R.I. And not by Brown University either, I might add.

OK. I still don't get how this is an example of how CVS *doesn't*
listen to Penn??
