More bad news for Rite Aid customers and employees. The beleaguered pharmacy chain has announced even more store closures will soon commence. The closures come in the wake of Rite Aid’s filing for bankruptcy last October. Since then, the company has announced rounds of store closures in October, November, and January.
Its April, closure announcements add an additional 53 stores across nine states. In a FAQ the company posted a while back, Rite Aid says impacted stores are underperforming and the closures will help the company “further reduce rent expense and strengthen overall financial performance.”

As for customers who frequent the closing store, Rite Aid says it will make every effort to ensure that those customers have access to health services at another Rite Aid location or at a nearby pharmacy. For its employees, Rite Aid says it will try to transfer associates at closing stores to other locations where possible.
The newly impacted store locations come from three documents that Rite Aid recently filed with the court (reported earlier by The Hill). The full list of stores appears below and in the embedded map above.
