Rite Aid announces even more store closures, including 2 in California

As Rite Aid continues through its second bankruptcy filing in as many years, another round of nearly 70 stores is expected to close, court documents show.

Last week, 47 stores across nine states, including California, were identified in court documents as likely to close as part of the first wave of closures.


Court documents filed Friday identified another 68 stores across seven states:

California

Pennsylvania

New Hampshire

New York

Oregon

Virginia

Washington

These closures are pending court approval.

Even if your local Rite Aid isn’t on this list, or it wasn’t included in the previously announced wave of closures, it doesn’t mean it is staying open. Nearly all of Rite Aid’s remaining 1,240 stores are expected to be listed for sale, a flyer shared with Nexstar’s WHTM confirmed last week.

Rite Aid previously said stores would remain open as they work with customers to transfer their prescriptions elsewhere. The exact closure timeline was not outlined.

Customers have until June 6 to use any Rite Aid gift cards, coupons, or rewards. Returns or exchanges will be processed or accepted until June 4.
