Rite Aid plans to close 154 stores after bankruptcy filing. See if your store is one of them

Rite Aid's bankruptcy announcement earlier this week came with the promise that store closures would soon be imminent.
It was unclear at the time just how many of pharmacy chain's more than 2,000 locations would be targeted, but Monday court filings identified 154 underperforming stores that Rite Aid plans to shutter.
Rite Aid filed Sunday for the Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as the beleaguered company faces slumping sales and battles a slew of lawsuits over its accused role in fueling the opioid epidemic by illegally filling prescriptions for painkillers. As part of the process, Rite Aid revealed its intention to close an untold number of its stores across 17 states.
A Rite Aid spokeswoman did not immediately respond Wednesday morning to USA TODAY's request to comment on the court filing about the store closures, which includes 38 in Pennsylvania, 31 in California, 20 in New York and 19 in Michigan. However, Joy Errico previously told USA TODAY that the company would transfer patients' prescriptions to nearby pharmacies "so there is no disruption of services."
Rite Aid, which has 45,000 employees, is also expected to give workers at closing stores the option to transfer to other locations "where possible," Rite Aid said in a Sunday media release.
