(WHTM) - Sixteen more Rite Aid locations in will be shuttered soon as the pharmacy chain works through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, including four in Pennsylvania.
According to bankruptcy filings, the nearest closure is in Pottsville, Schuylkill County. The store on Claude A. Lord Boulevard is the second closure in the Schuylkill County city this year, months after their downtown location closed.
"Rite Aid regularly assesses its retail footprint to ensure we are operating efficiently while meeting the needs of our customers, communities, associates, and overall business," Rite Aid said in a statement. "In connection with the court-supervised process, we notified the Court of certain underperforming stores we are closing to further reduce rent expense and strengthen overall financial performance."
Rite Aid owns the Pottsville property.
In addition to the Pottsville location, the chain plans to close several stores in South Whitehall Township, near Allentown, in Wayne, and in Philadelphia.
