RIP Rite Aid.

All remaining stores have now closed. Now there is no more rite aid. NONE.

For those local to Disneyland who used to get Thrifty ice cream fresh from those stores, that is also gone too. The new Thrifty is all just mass produced.

My local rite aid closed about a year ago. It was always empty. The location is now a Spirit Halloween.

Mine closed a few months ago. It was where I went to get my prescriptions filled, and it was always a hassle and huge pain because they served many areas around the county so you would get lost in the shuffle. Long lines, etc. Now I go to a small neighborhood pharmacy, am known by name and I'm in and out in less than ten minutes-usually five.

What a spooky use of space.

I went from Walgreens to a small, local-owned pharmacy. So much better in terms of customer service, friendliness and efficiency.

Seemed like only a matter of time until some of these drugstore chains put each other out of business. There used to be a drug store on virtually every corner almost like gas stations............LOL. Clearly they are all competing for the same customers and grocery stores now have pharmacies (and better prices) so they also lose out to them.

Don’t forget about Amazon. Amazon ruined brick and mortar so hard they killed another one.
