〈和製語略〉コンビニエンスストア◆アメリカには「CVS」というドラッグストアがあるが、「CVS」が「コンビニエンスストア」を意味するわけではない。

Is CVS really a way to refer to a convenience store in Japan? Maybe it's a confusion between the pharmacy CVS? Or it could be some business jargon that most people don't use, if that's the case I don't know if it needs a ref.
