The retail conversion of the former Rite Aid continues on First Avenue at Fifth Street.
Plywood now covers half of the storefront.
Here's a look inside as of yesterday...
The East Village Rite Aid closed on Aug. 24 after five weeks of going-out-of-business sales. The 63-year-old pharmacy chain filed for bankruptcy twice in two years before shutting down entirely last month.
The EV lease for the 8,500-square-foot space was auctioned off this past summer. (The auction was just for the lease, set to expire in January 2032, not the building.)

is it too much to hope they are leaving that mural alone!
This is wonderful news that a grocery store could be across the street from me.
The mural was destroyed by taggers after Rite Aid close. I hope King Bee can come back and do another one.
Perhaps a Lidl
love that mural!
