While national pharmacy chain Rite Aid is still grappling with the fallout from last year’s bankruptcy filing, another 27 stores are slated to close in two states, court documents show.
Since filing for bankruptcy in October of last year, Rite Aid has identified and closed more than 500 stores nationwide, citing the need to “further reduce rent expenses and strengthen overall financial performance.”
In the first round, closures began with over 100 stores, and in the following months, smaller groups of around 10 to 30 stores were gradually closed.

Rite Aid was saddled with billions of dollars in debt and had to file for bankruptcy amid declining sales. The company also faced over a thousand federal, state and local lawsuits accusing it of illegally writing prescriptions for painkillers.
New court filings have revealed that the company plans to close 27 more locations, with the number of additional closures unknown. Here’s a look at all of the Rite Aid locations closing as part of the latest closures.
