For anyone who hasn't been living under a rock, this news probably doesn't come as a shock. Rite Aid has been struggling as the prescription landscape has changed in recent years, with many people opting to fulfill their refills online. As such, the company filed for bankruptcy twice; once in October 2023 and again in May 2025, according to The U.S. Sun.

Massachusetts Store Locations Were Dwindling

While Rite Aid had numerous stores in Massachusetts at one time, as of May 2025, the company had only four locations remaining in the Bay State. Those stores were in Clinton, Greenfield, Fall River, and New Bedford. All of those locations are now permanently closed. Prior to the closures, as of September 2025, Rite Aid had 89 stores in 12 states.
