Not selling liquor probably didn't help their performance at this location.

Article also mentions Walgreen's has a store 150 feet from this location. Speaking of which, when will there be any info. on what's going to happen to the stores Walgreen's bought? What's going to be closed/converted, etc.?

So far 625 stores have been transferred to Walgreens but still operate as Rite Aid. I believe they have converted some pharmacies in those stores to Walgreens but the front ends remain Rite Aid for the time being (even though the operation is technically owned by Walgreens).

Are there any actual listings of these out there anywhere? There were a few postings around of people who saw signs in a store here & there saying the pharmacy was now operated by Walgreens but not much else in terms of information.

You'd think at some point they would let everyone know what's happening (which is currently only known in the states where all Rite Aid stores are converting or where none are - the states in between it is hard to figure out).
