Troubled Pharmacy Chain Closing Dozens More PA Locations
- Rite Aid announced the closure of 151 additional stores across multiple states amid ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.
- The closures follow Rite Aid's second Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing this month to pursue a strategic sale of most assets.
- The company operates about 1,245 stores in 15 states, with a strong presence in Pennsylvania, New York, and California, and plans to sell pharmacy assets to rivals like CVS and Walgreens.
- Bankruptcy court approved agreements last week allowing CVS to acquire prescription files from 625 pharmacies and operate 64 stores in the Pacific Northwest, according to Reuters.
- Rite Aid will keep stores open temporarily while continuing layoffs and asset sales, but has stopped issuing Rewards points and will end gift card acceptance on June 5.
