US EditionList: Over 800 Rite Aids to Close, Court Docs Show. Here's Where
- Rite Aid announced on a Friday in June 2025 that it will close 118 stores amid its second bankruptcy filing in 19 months across multiple states.
- The company's financial struggles, including a $2.5 billion debt burden and prior failed merger attempts, led to its liquidation and asset sales to competitors.
- More than 1,000 Rite Aid pharmacy assets and prescription files are being acquired by six major retailers including CVS, Albertsons, Kroger, Walgreens, Giant Eagle, and Weis Markets.
- At the time it filed for bankruptcy, Rite Aid managed a network of 1,245 locations across 15 states, a sharp decline from its peak when it expanded from a single Scranton store founded in 1962 to over 5,000 outlets employing more than 110,000 people.
- As Rite Aid closes over 700 stores and transfers prescriptions, employees must reapply for jobs at CVS, indicating a significant transition without guaranteed retention.
