Another Round of Rite Aid Closings, 24 More in New York

The slow goodbye continues for Rite Aid. The pharmacy chain is closing another 100 stores nationwide—and 24 of them are right here in New York.

This latest wave is part of the company’s ongoing bankruptcy restructuring, as it tries to dig itself out of financial trouble...again.

If your local Rite Aid is on the chopping block, you’re not alone. Dozens of locations across the state—including in the Central New York—are already in wind-down mode, with signs up and shelves slowly emptying.

A long list of closures was announced in May. Another 21 New York stores were added to the list less than a week ago.

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.
