A Rite Aid store in York County is on the company’s latest list of closings.
The store at 3300 E. Market St. in Springettsbury Township, is closing, the chain said in a bankruptcy filing on Friday. More than 200 stores are on the latest list.
The latest round of store closures for Rite Aid adds to the hundreds of locations previously announced as the pharmacy chain navigates its second bankruptcy filing.
The 207 stores are in addition to the 497 stores that Rite Aid previously announced it would close.
Last month, Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy for a second time to pursue “a strategic and value-maximizing sale process for substantially all of its assets.”
Most of Rite Aid’s more than 1,200 stores are expected to close.
Rite Aid announced that it had entered into agreements for its pharmacy assets of more than 1,000 stores across the country with CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, Albertsons, Kroger, and Giant Eagle.
CVS Pharmacy said that it has agreed to acquire the prescription files of 625 Rite Aid pharmacies across 15 states in areas that CVS serves, as well as acquire and operate 64 Rite Aid stores in Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
Those agreements were approved in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, according to Reuters.
The store in Springettsbury Township is one of 13 Rite Aid stores in recent years to close or are closing. Rite Aid has also announced closings in recent years in Fairview Township, Hanover, West York. Newberry Township, Hopewell Township, Dover Township, Penn Township, Carroll Township, Jackson Township, Manchester Township, York Township and York.
