Virtually all Rite Aids in Ohio, Michigan said to close

(WKBN) — No one at Rite Aid has confirmed it, but the Detroit Free Press and Crain’s Cleveland Business are reporting virtually every Rite Aid in Ohio and Michigan will be closing soon.

First News has also learned another of Youngstown’s Rite Aids will close. A sign on the drive-thru at the South Avenue and Midlothian Boulevard states the store will close July 1 with all prescriptions transferred to the Walgreens in Cornersburg.

It’s the ninth local Rite Aid to announce its closing. Crain’s estimates there are 300 Rite Aids in Ohio and Michigan that Walgreens is likely to buy the prescription files from.
