Twelve more Rite Aid stores in Michigan added to list of closures

(CBS) – According to court documents, a dozen more Rite Aid stores were added to the list of closures following the bankruptcy filing.

On Monday, a notice of additional closures was filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. The filing included 27 more stores in Michigan and Ohio. Five of the stores are in Metro Detroit.

Court documents did not indicate when the stores would close.

Rite Aid had already announced the closure of 19 more branches in the state last year.

The company has struggled with opioid lawsuits in recent years, and in 2022 it settled for up to $30 million in compensation after its pharmacies were accused of contributing to an oversupply of prescription opioids.
