Rite Aid store closures update: Latest list includes doomed locations in California, Washington, and Oregon
The list of Rite Aid store closures continues to grow. As the drugstore chain prepares to sell off its remaining assets in the wake of filing for bankruptcy for a second time, the total number of locations marked for closure in court documents as of this week is at least 497 nationwide. The chain will eventually sell or shutter all of its 1,277 pharmacies as it winds down operations. According to a court filing on Thursday, the latest list includes 25 additional locations in Ohio, California, Oregon, and Washington state. Bids on Rite Aid's remaining assets are due on June 18. Pharmacy assets already sold Rite Aid has already reached agreements to offload some of its assets—notably, its valuable prescription files—to CVS, the country's largest pharmacy chain; Walgreens; and the Albertsons and Kroger grocery chains. As Fast Company previously reported, CVS agreed to buy prescription files for 625 of those pharmacies and take over 64 brick-and-mortar Rite Aid locations in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, home to many of the latest closures. Rite Aid's mass closures present particular challenges for customers in rural areas who rely on the chain for their medications, sparking concerns about pharmacy deserts. The broader wind-down has left many remaining locations with empty shelves as products run out. Fast Company has reached out to Rite Aid for additional information about the timeline of the closures. Here's what to know. Which Rite Aid stores are among the latest closings? According to this week's filing, the following 25 locations are set to close and may already be in the process of doing so.

Rite Aid's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings come less than one year are a similar filing in 2023. Like many drugstore chains, including CVS and Walgreens, Rite Aid has struggled with online competition from Amazon and other retailers and decreased profits from prescription drugs due to lower reimbursement rates.
