Rite Aid plans to close more than 400 stores nationwide, including two in San Luis Obispo County.
Rite Aids in Los Osos and Morro Bay are both closing. The Los Osos store is slated to close on June 30 and the Morro Bay store is scheduled to close on July 7.
On May 5, the company entered Chapter 11 proceedings in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The company plans to sell or close all of its stores.
The Rite-Aid in SLO on Johnson seems to be on life support. Will it be closing too? As the shelves become empty, the store has started to remove them altogether, so now portions of the store look like a roller skating rink.
There are more than two in SLO County, for the record.
I feel bad for the people who work there… they don’t earn very much so losing a job that offers health insurance benefits can really hurt them…
Please Morro Bay… no more dollar stores… in fact move the dollar stores to the right aid location and open some competition for Albertsons so they will have to stop ripping us all off….
Was told Rite Aids main problems surrounded their involvement in the opioid crisis that they contributed too, guess karma caught up to them
Let’s hope someone sees this empty building and brings back a gym to Los Osos! I’m tired of driving to Morro Bay to work out.
Walk or ride a bike to the gym it’s free exercise.
they’re closing ALL Rite Aid stores! moving prescriptions to CVS pharmacy s. Feel bad for the employees
This is sad news. I was with them and transferred my prescriptions to CVS and hope they will acquire those locations. Was told the Thrifty Ice cream section is separate and up for sale. Good ice cream; hope it continues.
There’s been a Von’s, Ralphs/Grocery Outlet/Dollar Tree already exist, Albertsons has a location nearby in MB… What could even be next? Predicting some hoity-toity nonsense with insanely high prices.
Tesla charging ports, too many art galleries, “fancy” coffee shops and restaurants, Rivians and sports cars, IMPOSSIBLE RENT prices, etc etc…
Los Osos is being destroyed by the present greedy and the infestation of the incoming rich. A sad time to bear witness to :/
