Earlier this week, CVS started laying out signage in its new location on Fenton Street in downtown. Construction on the new store started earlier this year in July and is moving steadily along, said CVS spokesman Michael DeAngelis.

The store is slated to open Aug. 7, after a few last-minute touches are finished. Those include the fixtures, completing the wiring for computer systems, installing signage and moving products in, DeAngelis said.

Once the store opens, it will stock the typical items CVS sells, such as snacks, toothpaste, deodorant and other personal products.

So far, the plan is not to carry any Silver Spring souvenirs for all those diehard fans of downtown. But that possibility hasn't been completely ruled out.

Why build another CVS in the downtown area?

DeAngelis said that this store will specifically help to serve the high pedestrian traffic in downtown.
