Eckerd #3953/CVS #5235/Advance Auto Parts #8199
13324 Boyette Rd, Riverview, FL

Opened in 2002 as Eckerd #3953. Sold to CVS and closed in 2004 after a very short 2 years in operation. From 2003 to 2004, this store faced competition from nearby Walgreens #6828, which closed on June 17, 2015 after being open since 2003. Advance Auto Parts #8199 opened in 2009.

The exterior is original to Eckerd except for the Advance Auto Parts logo.

The 13324 at the top, along with the IN and OUT text are from Eckerd. If you subtract 2002 from 2019, you get 17 years!

Here is the inside of Advance Auto Parts, complete with the original Eckerd lighting. The aisles are to the right. Straight ahead are the Battery and Motor Oil Stations.

Aisle 5, home to light bulbs, electrical equipment, and glues. Straight ahead is vehicle paint.

The battery and oil stations are seen here. This blocks the back side of the former Eckerd store.

This walled off portion may have been the former pharmacy from Eckerd.

The last 4 aisles are shown here. There are a total of 8 aisles in the store.

Let's head outside for some more Eckerd remnants!

This was Eckerd's and later CVS's drive thru pharmacy from 2002 to 2004. The maximum clearance was 10 feet.

The road sign for Advance Auto Parts is reusing Eckerd's original sign supports!
