Nationwide Pharmacy Chain Will Have Only 3 Locations Left In MA After Impending Closure

MASSACHUSETTS — Rite Aid is continuing to close stores across the country as part of the retail pharmacy chain’s bankruptcy process.

Court documents filed last week revealed the latest Massachusetts store targeted for permanent closure. Pending any legal challenges, the latest store on the chopping block is in Clinton at 1031 Main St.

Rite Aid filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2023 and again in May 2025. The second bankruptcy filing reveals that Rite Aid is liquidating most of its assets in a fire sale.

In Massachusetts, residents learned in May that all locations in the state would either be sold or closed, which has come with a slow rollout of closures across stores in the state.

After Clinton closes, the chain will have three remaining, including in Fall River, New Bedford and Greenfield.

Nationwide, Rite Aid has targeted about half of its 1,240 stores for closure.

The Pennsylvania-based company entered the latest bankruptcy with over $2 billion in debt, and it warned employees last month about potential job cuts.

Rite Aid stated that customers can continue to access pharmacy services and products in-store and online, including prescriptions and immunizations. In connection with the sale process and court-supervised proceedings, the company said it is working to facilitate a smooth transfer of customer prescriptions to other pharmacies.

Rite Aid Rewards points are no longer being issued, and existing points and bonus cash will also expire per the terms and conditions. They will also no longer honor gift cards or accept any returns or exchanges beginning June 5.
