A look at some recent news from the pharmacy world. Rite Aid, a familiar name in communities across the country, is facing some tough times. After filing for bankruptcy, they’ve now announced the closure of four additional locations, adding to the more than 200 stores already shuttered. These closures are part of Rite Aid’s strategy to reevaluate its retail presence and navigate through financial challenges.
Specifically, in this latest round of shutdowns, Rite Aid will be closing 12 stores in Michigan and 15 in Ohio. For our Ohio friends, the affected locations include stores in Cortland, Hubbard, East Palestine, and Girard. Here are the exact addresses if you’re familiar with these spots:
- 713 North State Street, Girard
- 147 West Liberty Street, Hubbard
- 25 West Main Street, East Palestine
- 569 High Street, Cortland
Earlier, they also announced the closure of a store in Youngstown, Ohio, located at 4914 Youngstown-Poland Road. These decisions follow similar moves in states like Pennsylvania, California, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia, showing how Rite Aid is adjusting to financial pressures.
