Walgreen has gone international in a big way and become something of a Wall Street darling in the process. Now CVS, whose retail pharmacies in this country have been outperforming Walgreen’s, is stepping up its own international efforts.

 

CVS already has a position in Brazil with a majority stake in the 44-unit Drogaria onofre, which it purchased early last year. More recently, CVS made a failed offer for Drogarias Pacheco São Paolo, but reports say there may be more conversations in the works. If CVS does acquire DPSP, it would become the second-largest pharmacy retailer in the country behind Raia Drogasil.

 

In the United States, CVS has created the world’s largest consumer loyalty program — 70 million customers strong — and mined that data for further benefit. Judy Sansone, CVS senior vice president of merchandising, says 30 percent of the chain’s marketing budget is spent on targeting efforts to loyalty cardholders.

 

Last year Rite Aid opened its first new store since 2011 and stepped up the pace of remodeling older units tenfold. After reporting its first profit in six years in FY2013, Rite Aid more than doubled earnings (to $249.4 million) for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014.
