You can add one more Delaware County Rite Aid store to the list of closings amid the retail pharmacy’s bankruptcy, writes Daniel Une for Penn Live.
The Rite Aid store at 832 N. Lansdowne Ave. in Upper Darby is part of a group of 28 stores in Pennsylvania and 118 nationwide, the latest that have closed. They join a list of 839 stores nationally that Rite Aid previously announced for closure.
In Delaware County, it joins:
3120 Chichester Ave. in Boothwyn;
762 Chester Pike in Prospect Park;
123 S. 69th St. in Upper Darby;
4400 Pennell Road in Aston; and
170 Saxer Ave. in Springfield.
The latest closings were announced in a bankruptcy filing on Friday.
This is the pharmacy chain’s second bankruptcy filing as it pursues “a strategic and value-maximizing sale process for substantially all of its assets.”
When bankruptcy proceedings conclude, it’s expected that most of Rite Aid’s 1,200 + stores will close.
CVS Pharmacy, Giant Eagle, Weiss Markets, Walgreens, Albertsons, and Kroger have all agreed to buy the prescription files from many of the closed stores.
Those agreements were approved in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, according to Reuters.
