Another Round Of Rite Aid Closures Hits 20 Locations In New York

Rite Aid is moving forward with plans to close even more stores.

The pharmacy chain just filed their eighth notice with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New Jersey, asking to shut down 118 additional locations—including 20 in New York—and liquidate their assets.

A long list of closures was announced in May, with 21 more New York stores added a few weeks later, followed by another 24 last week.

That brings the total number of stores set to close to 947 so far across the country.

The company is trying to tighten things up by focusing on their stronger locations and letting go of the ones that aren’t doing so well.

Prescription Transfers

Prescriptions are being transferred to nearby pharmacies like CVS or Walgreens, so you shouldn’t see an interruption in service.

Layoffs have already started, and some towns may be left without a nearby pharmacy at all.
