These closures are part of a larger plan that has already shuttered hundreds of Rite Aid stores nationwide, as the company struggles with mounting debt and increased competition.

For the Tri-Cities, I've seen our Kennewick store convert into a CVS Pharmacy, and from what I know, more are on the way here in the Columbia Basin.

The big news is that Kroger-owned brands Fred Meyer and QFC have announced six store closures in Western Washington.

Finally, Claire’s is also cutting back, with 291 Claire’s and Icing stores closing nationwide by September 7. Redmond Town Center and Factoria Mall have already announced closures.
