Rite Aid is closing an additional 28 stores in Pennsylvania, including four in Bucks County, after filing for bankruptcy for a second time, writes Daniel Urie for PennLive.
The following Bucks County locations are among the 28 locations in the state that will be closing:
- 6912 New Falls Road, Bristol
- 96 N. Flowers Mill Road, Middletown
- West Broad St., Milford
- 599 York Road, Warminster
So far, 118 Pennsylvania locations have closed, while 839 stores have been shut down nationwide. Rite Aid plans to close more than 1,200 of its locations in the coming months.
The pharmacy chain announced it had filed for bankruptcy again to pursue “a strategic and value-maximizing sale process for substantially all of its assets.”
Rite Aid is working with competing pharmaceutical chains to ensure they purchase its prescription files.
CVS Pharmacy agreed to purchase prescription files for 625 locations, while Giant Eagle acquired 78 stores.
Weis Markets, Walgreens, Kroger and Albertsons will also be buying prescription files.
These are the latest Bucks County locations added to the list of closures, following stores in Fairless Hills, Bristol and Richboro.
