LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Drugstore chain Rite Aid is closing an additional 27 stores in Michigan and Ohio as it continues to go through the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process.

Court documents filed this week say Rite Aid is closing 12 more stores in Michigan and 15 stores in Ohio.
The closing dates for these locations have not been disclosed, nor has the possibility of liquidation sales.

With the addition of these dozen Michigan stores, Rite Aid plans to shut down more than 200 stores nationwide.

This move follows a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Justice Department, accusing Rite Aid of knowingly filling falsified or invalid prescriptions for opioid painkillers despite clear warning signs.

Once these closures are finalized, the chain will have fewer than 2,000 stores remaining.

This continues a cascade of closures after Rite Aid announced plans in 2021 to close stores in the U.S. That move hoped to save the pharmacy chain $25 million a year following the shuttering of other locations.
