Former Payless Drug Store located at 7201 Regional St. in Dublin,CA. The building is currently occupied by a CVS Pharmacy. In the mid 1990s this store was remodeled into the "store of the future" layout implemented by Payless where the aisles were placed at 45 degree angles instead of vertically. The remodels did not do any good for Payless which ultimately was acquired by Rite Aid in 1997. This store was downsized considerably during the sixteen or so months Rite Aid occupied the building. In 1999 the building was sold to Longs which ended up putting up Longs signs and closing off a bit more of the store. This store has remained virtually untouched since Longs installed their signs in 2000. The one thing that has changed is the abundance of vacancy in portions in the building. Over the past year the store has become more and more vacant, the place seems almost like a ghost town. CVS plans to operate on the remaining seven year lease that Longs had signed to but what if anything will be done to renovate this oversized drug store is unknown.
