No, they are actually rivals. CVS (originally started as Consumer Value Store) was founded in Massachusetts in 1963. It merged with a company called Caremark in 2007 and has hundreds of stores nationwide. Walgreen goes back to 1901 when it was founded in Illinois by Charles R. Walgreen. It too has hundreds of stores, and descendants of Mr. Walgreen ran the company for more than eight decades.

Do CVS and Walgreens have the same percriptions that I am on and is all the same in their computers?

CVS and Walgreens may carry the same medications, but they do not share prescription records or databases, so your prescription information is not automatically available across both pharmacies. You would need to transfer your prescription manually if you switch from one to the other. It's best to check with each pharmacy to confirm the availability of your specific medications.
