Rite Aid filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May, the second filing since 2023, for the pharmaceutical chain. In the last few weeks, Rite Aid had said it planned to keep stores open for the next few months, while selling off assets. The company has downsized from 2,300 stores to around 1,200 remaining.

If Approved, a Total of 474 Locations Across 14 States Are Planned to Close.
