The plot thickens...

Again Oakland rockridge, San Jose Blossom Hill,and San Dimas are the last remaining California locations.

The closing Tustin location is indeed a former Thrifty in an aging center dating from the early 1960's(based on the intact ceiling fixtures inside the former Thrifty pictured on Yelp and/or Google),for some reason the vaccine scheduler hasn't yet been turned off so there's no way to determine the cl...

The long-closed Sacramento country club location(was undergoing conversion into a likely-mothballed Amazon fresh when I last checked)had a Subway instead of a McDonald's.

Rancho Mission Viejo is a complete flop of a shopping center. Horrible, horrible location without enough population.

I hope... too late for my area but I sure hope what happened to my area with Rite Aid leaving entirely does...

Gardnerville and Truckee are both officially closing. Last day in about two weeks for both stores. Very sorry to see Gardnerville go. Was consistently so well run over the years. I was really hoping that store would hang on. Also marks the end of my semi easy access to Rite Aid. Really a downer. Th...
