Rite-Aid


Return to Index

Rite Aid stores have been discontinued, with all remaining locations officially closing by early October 2025 after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time in May 2025, liquidating its assets and transferring prescriptions to other pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, and Albertsons. The once-national chain, known for its ice cream, struggled with debt and lawsuits, leading to its complete shutdown after 63 years in business, with its website now directing former customers for records and pharmacy information.

Key Details:

Bankruptcy: Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy in May 2025, following a prior filing in 2023.

Closures: All stores ceased operations by early October 2025.

Prescription Transfers: Prescriptions were transferred to other pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, Albertsons) to ensure continuity of care.

Website: The Rite Aid website (riteaid.com) is still active for customers to access records or find new pharmacies.

Reasons: Financial difficulties, increased competition, and lawsuits related to the opioid crisis contributed to the closure.

What Happened to the Locations? Many former Rite Aid stores were sold to competitors like CVS, Albertsons, Kroger, and Walgreens, while the rest were closed, according to the company's bankruptcy plan.
