What customers can expect as Rite Aid closes or sells all its drugstores
By TOM MURPHY, Associated Press
Rite Aid customers can expect their local store to close or change ownership in the next few months, as the struggling drugstore chain goes through another bankruptcy filing.
The company plans to sell customer prescription files, inventory and other assets as it closes distribution centers and unloads store locations. Stores will remain open for now, but the company isn’t buying new inventory so bare shelves are likely become more common.
“I think what we’ll progressively see is the stores will become more and more spartan,” said retail analyst Neil Saunders.
