More and more Rite Aid pharmacies are closing, including four in New Hampshire.
National drugstore chain Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy in October of last year. Since then, it has announced the closure of hundreds of stores.
“Rite Aid Corporation is also proud to be one of the nation’s leading drugstore chains,” the company’s website states. “With approximately 1,700 pharmacies in 16 states, we have a strong presence on both the East and West coasts and employ more than 51,000 people.”
While that’s true, the number of pharmacy locations used to be well over 2,000. Since the bankruptcy declaration, however, that number has dropped to 1,553 stores, according to Rite Aid’s store location website.
