Executives with the company say the stores on the closure list were "underperforming." There is no firm date at this time for these store closures.
This comes after the Associated Press reports the head of a financial advisory firm, Jeffrey Stein, was appointed CEO of Rite Aid as of Sunday, replacing interim CEO Elizabeth Burr. In 2022, Rite Aid settled for up to $30 million to resolve lawsuits alleging its pharmacies contributed to an oversupply of prescription opioids.
