Leading Retail Pharmacy Chain Occupies 7,940 Square Feet at Levin-Managed Center. End Quote

Pittsburgh, PA (1888PressRelease) August 03, 2013 - Answering consumer demand for convenience and affordability, the retail pharmacy industry has proven virtually recession proof, growing at an annual rate of 1.6 percent during the five years ending prior to December 2012. CVS/pharmacy illustrates this trend with its newly opened 7,940-square-foot store at Parkesburg Shopping Center in Parkesburg, Pa. The 56,652-square-foot center is exclusively leased and managed by Levin Management.

CVS/pharmacy is located in the space formerly occupied by Longenecker Pharmacy, an independent pharmacy chain that was a Parkesburg staple since 1988. "After many years of serving the community, the owners of Longenecker decided to retire and sell their business to a quality operator like CVS/pharmacy," said Robert Carson, Levin's executive vice president. "We are excited to have a nationally recognized brand such as CVS/pharmacy join the tenant mix at Parkesburg Shopping Center. The confidence that CVS/pharmacy has in this center solidifies its standing as a convenient retail location."

Each CVS/pharmacy location provides accessible and personalized expertise, unparalleled product assortment, and best-in-class value and service.

Located at the intersection of routes 10 and 372, other tenants at Parkesburg Shopping Center include Family Dollar, the United States Postal Service, Fulton Bank, Polk's Florist, Pizza Villa and a Chinese restaurant. The center serves a growing residential population of more than 34,600 people within a five-mile radius.
