July 1, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

Rite Aids plans to close five more stores in San Luis Obispo County, for a total of eight. The chain is closing more than 400 stores nationwide.

Rite Aids in Los Osos and Atascadero have already closed. The Morro Bay store is slated to close on July 7.

Over the next two months, Rite Aid plans to also close the Arroyo Grande stores at 1690 East Grand Avenue and at 1207 Grand Avenue, the Paso Robles stores at 151 Creston Road and 2424 Spring Street and the San Luis Obispo store at 1251 Johnson Avenue.

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.

Too bad, Rite Aid was the best drug store until they started requiring you provide ID to purchase adult beverages wile handing out controlled substances with only an insurance card.

Much like California incompetent leaders can send the whole structure crashing down.

Yes, fond memories of Thrifty Ice Cream. They had a cylindrical scooper and a “one scooper” was a grand total of .05 cents! Believe it or not, they held that price much longer then they should have.

An employee at the SLO Rite-Aid on Johnson said that ALL stores are closing. I asked him when’s the fire sale and he said they don’t know yet. However, the shelving inside the store is now for sale.
