Rite Aid has officially closed all its pharmacy locations, confirming the shutdown on its website. The announcement comes after a series of extensive closures, with over 520 pharmacies ceasing operations since October 2023. The company's demise follows two bankruptcy filings, the latest in May, driven by significant debt, opioid-related lawsuits, and a Justice Department complaint regarding unlawful prescription practices. The Rite Aid website now directs former customers to resources for finding alternative pharmacies and accessing their records.
