Over 1,000 Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS stores closing; See which ones in Delaware
Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens will have closed a collective 1,000 locations across the U.S. in 2025, and Delaware will feel the hit as stores shutter across the state.
Pharmaceutical giant Rite Aid announced it was closing 316 stores as it filed for its second bankruptcy on May 5, according to documents reviewed by USA TODAY. The chain's first Chapter 11 bankruptcy was in October 2023, when it said at the time it would shutter over 100 stores.
The news is the latest in a slew of big pharma stores making big changes. CVS plans to close 271 stores in 2025 — after spending several years shuttering around 900 already, a spokesperson told USA TODAY. Population shifts, consumer buying patterns and community health needs were among the factors to close stores, and not a response to industry pressures.
Walgreens has in recent years been struggling with sluggish consumer spending, and announced in 2024 it would close 1,200 "underperforming" stores over several years, with 500 in the fiscal year 2025. The move is part of a cost-cutting "turnaround plan" under CEO Tim Wentworth to help stabilize the store's main retail pharmacy focus.
Of the 316 Rite Aid stores closing nationwide, six are in Delaware:
Laurel: 1120 South Central Ave.
Millsboro: 24892 John J. Williams Highway
Glasgow: 400 Peoples Plaza
Stanton: 4607 Stanton Ogletown Road
Rehoboth Beach: 18898 Rehoboth Mall Blvd.
Selbyville: 38169 Dupond Blvd.
In recent years, seven Rite Aid locations in Delaware have closed. As of May 30, Rite Aid had 29 locations listed in Delaware, per the company's website. The locations that are expected to close still remain listed.
Of the 271 stores closing in fiscal year 2025, Newsweek reports none closing in Delaware. The state is home to 23 locations, and one in Wilmington shuttered in 2019.
The latest list of store closures does not include any in Delaware. However, Walgreens has shuttered multiple locations in Delaware in recent years, including five in 2023.
Walgreens currently operates 26 locations in the state, per the company website.

US Supreme Court turns away challenge by Alpine Securities to FINRA
By John Kruzel WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a challenge by broker-dealer Alpine Securities claiming that the enforcement power given by the federal government to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Wall Street's self-regulator, is unconstitutional. The justices turned away Salt Lake City-based Alpine's appeal of a lower court's ruling that allowed FINRA to move forward with an enforcement action against the company for allegedly stealing more than $54.5 million from customers. FINRA, a non-governmental self-regulatory organization, is responsible under federal law for supervising broker-dealers in the United States with the aim of protecting investors and the integrity of securities markets. FINRA has considered the expulsion of Alpine, accusing it of stealing from customers by charging excessive fees and misusing their investments. Alpine responded with a lawsuit to block the FINRA expulsion proceeding, arguing that the organization's structure violates the U.S. Constitution. Specifically at issue is a constitutional principle called the private nondelegation doctrine, which involves limits on the ability of federal agencies set up by Congress to hand off authority to private entities like FINRA. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit handed Alpine a partial victory in 2022, ruling that FINRA cannot expel member firms in expedited proceedings without obtaining review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a federal regulatory agency. The D.C. Circuit decided that a lack of SEC review likely violated the private nondelegation doctrine. But that court also let FINRA continue its enforcement proceeding against Alpine, saying it would not cause the kind of irreparable harm Alpine could face if later expelled, such as going out of business. This prompted Alpine's appeal to the Supreme Court. FINRA opposed Alpine's appeal, as did President Donald Trump's administration. Chief Justice John Roberts in March denied Alpine's emergency request to stop the FINRA proceeding.
