CVS Will Rebuild 2 Stores in Baltimore [View all]

Daniella Silva / NBC News 7:47 PM ET

Pharmacy giant CVS Health announced Wednesday it will rebuild two store locations badly burned during protests in Baltimore last week in response to the death of Freddie Gray.

“We have a long history of serving inner city communities and we are 100 percent committed to serving our patients and customers in Baltimore,” CEO Larry Merlo said in a statement released Thursday. The company did not release a timeline for rebuilding, but said they were “working diligently to make it as soon as possible.”
