Ohio Among States Affected By Latest Rite Aid Closure Additions

Just over 2 months ago, Rite Aid announced that they would be closing store locations across America as they try to fight their losses. They quoted a rise in prices for not only medications but goods alongside the rising theft concerns being the main reasons for their closures across the country. They announced that they would be closing hundreds of locations but have since come back and added to this list.

Not every state was affected by the initial ring of closures that swept through and those states have remained safe this time around as well.  As for the states that were already on that list, some were able to avoid the latest round of bad news while others had to prepare for more worried and upset customers. Ohio is one of the few states that has had their list of closing locations added to within the last couple of weeks.

They were as they had several of their locations listed and set to close before the end of 2024.
