Rite Aid filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on Oct. 15 amid flagging sales, mounting debt and several opioid-related lawsuits. According to the Wall Street Journal, the company is talking to its creditors and proposing to close roughly 400 to 500 stores throughout 2023.

As NBC News reported, the chain operated 2,253 stores as of Sept. 3. The states most affected by the closures are Pennsylvania (39 stores), California (31 stores) and New York (20 stores).
While stand-alone pharmacies and those operating within large department stores and supermarkets are easily found in bigger cities, closing hundreds of Rite Aids — the third largest drugstore chain in the U.S., behind CVS and Walgreens — will significantly impact small towns.
“Pharmacies since Covid are doing so much more, including immunizations, and if we take them out of the picture that’s significant,” said Nick Fabrizio, senior lecturer in health policy at Cornell University. “Right now there is no one to backfill in these pharmacy deserts. The greatest risk are those communities both in rural America and inner cities where there might be fewer choices.”
According to the American Pharmacists Association, vaccinologist, pharmacist and epidemiologist John Grabenstein found that from Feb. 2020 through Sept. 2022, pharmacies conducted over 42 million COVID-19 tests, provided over 270 million COVID-19 vaccinations within community pharmacy programs alone and gave over 50 million influenza and other vaccinations per year.
Here is a list of the 154 Rite Aid pharmacy closures in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington.
