It took some time.

But the CVS along Route 248 in Palmer Township has finally opened.

The pharmacy opened its doors over the weekend in the Northwood Center along Route 248 and Northwood Avenue.

It had been under construction for some time and appeared ready for the holiday shopping season.

The CVS is part of a retail center that will also include a Sheetz gas station/convenience store and also a small strip center with other retail businesses.

The Sheetz would be the largest in the Lehigh Valley.
