The Fate of Rite Aid's Thrifty Ice Cream Is Uncertain
Last week, 10 Los Angeles-area Rite-Aid pharmacies, many of which feature Southern California's iconic Thrifty Ice Cream counters, were announced to be closing in June as part of a nationwide reduction following Rite-Aid's second bankruptcy filing in as many years. More than 300 pharmacies are scheduled to close out of the company's more than 1,200, leaving many to wonder about the future of its Thrifty Ice Cream brand. Thrifty began as a West Coast pharmacy chain in 1929, sourcing ice cream from local vendors and selling scoops for 5 cents before producing its own in the 1940s. In 1976, the company opened a large factory in El Monte that still makes around 60,000 gallons of ice cream a day. Thrifty was acquired by Rite-Aid in 1996 but retained many of its ice cream counters. With Rite-Aid's recent bankruptcy announcement, media outlets are wondering what will become of the beloved ice cream brand. Rite-Aid hasn't commented on the future of the brand and its iconic cylindrical cones (whose scoopers are still for sale for around $30). Thrifty still sells retail containers of its ice cream at local grocery stores and continues to offer wholesale ice cream for food service, so it's likely the ice cream brand will endure. Rite-Aid is currently trying to find a buyer for its retail pharmacies, with many stores virtually bereft of items on their shelves. A halal Venice expansion Toddrickallen reports that the Valley's popular New York Chicken & Gyros is opening soon on Lincoln Boulevard in Venice. Bringing a bit of Flushing, New York, to Los Angeles, the chain first opened in Canoga Park in 2017, where it sold halal cart-style food. The chain also operates in West Los Angeles and Pasadena. Sawtelle Japantown scene update Japanese soft serve chain Indigo Cow, which also operates in Echo Park, opened in Sawtelle Japantown this weekend, serving frozen treats with dairy sourced from Japan. In addition, Filipino restaurant Spoon & Pork, which operates only in Silver Lake after shuttering its Sawtelle Japantown location in February 2025, has been open about its recent struggles on social media. The beloved comfort food restaurant seems to need a boost right now. Long Beach's restaurant week Long Beach Food Scene Week kicks off on August 1 and will feature 80 restaurants across the southern Los Angeles County city. Learn more here about the 10-day event. Tariffs hit a South Bay restaurant Ruiji Sichuan Restaurant in Lomita posted a sign that's been trending on Reddit that details some of the cost increases that it blames on tariffs, including cooking oil, takeout containers, and chicken wings. It's a reminder that restaurants can't always pass increased costs to consumers without some pushback. Santa Monica's booze zone Like the Las Vegas Strip and parts of New Orleans, Santa Monica has opened a 'booze zone' along Third Street Promenade where imbibers can enjoy alcohol on the street.

Rite Aid reveals more store closures, bringing total to 142 across 12 states: See list
Rite Aid has announced more store closures after reportedly agreeing to sell pharmacy assets from over 1,000 locations to various competitors. In the midst of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the drugstore chain said it would close 115 of its stores but a newly published document shows that 27 additional stores are following suit. In an initial filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, the company indicated just 47 stores were set to close before adding more to the list a few days later. As of May 16, a total of 142 closures are expected to shutter, or over 10% of the total 1,240 locations. Earlier this month, Rite-Aid said it was "working to facilitate a smooth transfer of customer prescriptions to other pharmacies" during the bankruptcy process. The closures come as the company sells assets like prescription files and other goods to other retails including CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, Kroger and Albertsons, according to Reuters. The transactions will not impact non-closing stores, where customers can continue to use pharmacy services. Here's an updated list of which stores will soon shutter. Pennsylvania has the most locations slated to close, with 69 stores set to shutter. The company listed 25 locations in California, 14 in Oregon, three in Maryland and one in Delaware as being set to close. Store closures also are set for Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Virginia and Washington.

This Popular Ice Cream Chain is Closing 500 Locations—Here's What to Know
It's never any fun when a favorite institution shuts down. When Blockbuster and Hollywood Video closed, I cried for nearly a week straight. Sure, I can't imagine life without Netflix now, but who could've ever predicted that we'd see the end of VHS tapes in our lifetime? We were just figuring out how to use a Blu-ray player. Unfortunately, it's one of those circle of life things, and sooner or later, everything reaches its end. 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 As much as it hurts to see larger chains and businesses go under (still making sense of the Forever21 debacle), seeing smaller local joints that have made their name servicing those of us who live closest shutter their doors for good can feel like the equivalent of losing a limb. In the case of regional ice cream chain Thrifty's, they're recent announcement comes at no fault of their own, but it still stings those of you not familiar, Thrifty's Ice Cream first opened in 1940 as a subsidiary brand of Rite-Aid. You could get your flu shot and meds and then head on over to Thrifty's counter to pick up one of their famous square-shaped scoops. The brand has developed a cult-like following and even made its way into the freezer section of some grocery stores, and it's had a good run for the better part of 85 years. Unfortunately, the chain will no longer be available in Rite-Aid locations due to Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings affecting over 500 Thrifty's locations. While there are a few standalone franchise locations and you can still find it in the freezer aisle of some grocers, the locations inside Rite-Aid pharmacies will all be closing as they're not able to be sold as separate assets from the Rite-Aid brand. Despite the news, it is possible that a buyer could decide to run and operate the square-ish scooped ice cream brand on its own.
