Rite Aid plans to close about 7% of its stores initially, as the drugstore chain makes its way through its Chapter 11 bankruptcy process.

Store Closure Details

The company submitted a list of 154 stores in a court filing. Most of the chain’s stores are on the East and West Coasts, and the list reflects that. While numerous locations in California made the list, the Central Valley is largely spared in the downsizing, with the exception of the chain’s store in Atwater at 571 Belleview Road.

Company’s Financial Status

Rite Aid said in a recent Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it has more than 2,200 locations in 17 states. That filing also noted that the company lost about $1.3 billion in the first half of its fiscal year. That’s more than double the $441 million it lost in the same period during the previous fiscal year.

Potential Additional Closures

Rite Aid said in its Tuesday bankruptcy court filing that it also may close additional stores. The company said earlier this week that going through its voluntary Chapter 11 process will help significantly cut the company’s debt and resolve litigation “in an equitable manner.”

The Philadelphia company has struggled financially for years and also faces financial risk from lawsuits over opioid prescriptions like its bigger rivals, CVS and Walgreens.
