CVS Pharmacy has expanded its national inventory to include a variety of new toys and collectibles. This move comes as the retailer targets a growing demographic of adult buyers interested in hobbyist items and seasonal goods.
Why it matters
The shift reflects a broader surge in adult consumer interest in toys and collectible items. By diversifying its shelf space, the retailer aims to capitalize on the significant spending power currently held by consumers ages 18 and up.
In the first quarter of 2025, adults aged 18 and older spent $1.8 billion on toys. Additionally, 19% of surveyed adults have recently purchased Pokémon trading cards for personal use.
