The Halloween displays at the Rite Aid on First Avenue and Fifth Street are a bit sparse...
As we've noted, the entire store is a little sparse... but this location will remain open...
Last month, Rite Aid emerged from bankruptcy. Per Reuters:
Rite Aid will operate as a private company after it successfully completed its financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy... The pharmacy has used its bankruptcy to close hundreds of stores, sell its pharmacy benefit company Elixir, and negotiate settlements with its lenders, drug distribution partner McKesson and other creditors.
There's signage in the pharmacy department about this... thanking customers and stating that Rite Aid is not going out of business...
Hopefully, they can afford a head for Santa this year!)

sad state, but glad they're staying open!
They need to shut down and let a real business open up that can serve the community. All they are doing is coercing more locals into ordering everything online. They haven't been able to keep toilet paper in stock for years. It's an insult to the community.
I use their pharmacy for all of my prescriptions. I’m glad they’re staying open too.
I still use their pharmacy, have for years, but when I comparison shop are pharmacies using my healthcare providers website, the prices at Rite Aid are 4x higher then others such as the Walgreens further up 1st Ave. Thinking of switching for that reason alone.
