WOONSOCKET, R.I., May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, leaders from CVS Health® (NYSE: CVS) were joined by state and local representatives to celebrate the reopening of one of its Hendersonville CVS Pharmacy stores. Located at 522 South Main Street, the store was severely damaged during Hurricane Helene and forced to close last September. After months of repairs, it is the first store to reopen at the busy intersection of South Main Street and Spartanburg Highway, marking a milestone for the community, which suffered extensive damage when Clear Creek flooded during the massive storm.

"After months of hard work, we're thrilled to welcome back customers and patients to our South Main Street CVS Pharmacy store," said Maureen Cormier, SVP, Field Operations East, CVS Pharmacy. "From the day Hurricane Helene devastated the area, our commitment to the community has been unwavering at our other Hendersonville locations and throughout the Western Carolinas. I want to thank our teams who have worked tirelessly to reopen this store quickly so we could once again serve the health, wellness and pharmacy care needs of Hendersonville residents at this store."

The store has been completely rebuilt to feature an expanded pharmacy and private consultation and vaccination area, improved in-store delivery pickup area, and updated layout, décor and fixtures – offering patients, customers and caregivers a simpler, more accessible experience.

"North Carolina experienced an unimaginable tragedy with Hurricane Helene, with thousands of our local businesses impacted," said Matt Calabria, Director, the Governor's Recovery Office for Western North Carolina. "We are delighted that CVS is now able to reopen this location. The reopening is a testament to the hard work and dedication of so many, and it will no doubt help improve residents' access to needed, life-giving medications." 

In the months since Hurricane Helene hit, CVS Health has remained dedicated to supporting communities that were impacted by the devastating storm. Through grants to organizations providing direct support on the ground and in-kind product donations, our support for residents across the southeast recovering from the two storms totaled more than $1.5 million.
