As Rite Aid continues with store closures after filing for bankruptcy again, more Delaware locations will shut down.
Here’s what you need to know.
Rite Aid closing news
A Rite Aid on Kirkwood Highway in Prices Corner closed in in late 2023 as part of the drugstore chain’s first bankruptcy filing a month prior.
Rite Aid announced on May 5 that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time since October of 2023.
The initial announcement noted 47 stores slated for closure, followed by a second wave of 68 stores and a third wave of 95 stores on May 16.
Just before Memorial Day, a court filing showed that Rite Aid sought to close an additional 151 locations in 10 states. This is the largest batch of combined closures, bringing the total stores impacted to 361, which is more than a quarter of Rite Aid’s collection of 1,277 locations, according to Fast Company.
