Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

The previous Livermore nob Hill was a smaller and older location that likely lacked perimeter service departments. Back to RAD,even go forward locations have not received new magazines in the roughly three months since Chapter 11,and the select locations that offer Blue rhino propane (both my curre...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

I don't think that Nob Hill in Livermore is doing much business at all. Ralphs wasn't doing much business either. That was a weird situation when Raleys pulled out of Las Vegas they somehow brokered to get that Livermore Ralphs (otherwise the Livermore Nob Hill was going to just be closing, and the...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

I must note(in case I forgot in earlier posts)that when the Sunrise Village legacy Thrifty closure was announced,chunks of merchandise were packed and shipped off in phases:before the closing sale commenced unsold Halloween candy was shipped off to Roseville square with most cosmetics shipped out to...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

12 more stores closing in today's court docket. 4 CA Stores: Livermore, Studio City (was a 24 hour store until recently), Westminster, Hemet. Downtown Portland. Read the Google reviews on that store recently. YIKES. Current Rite Aid store count excluding Bartell sits at 1,787 today. Westminster and...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

Additionally there is speculation on Reddit that the lone remaining Temecula location(a customer world-era build on the same stretch of CA-79 as the maligned Winchester location)is itself on borrowed time just months after the Vail ranch Payless closed in the pre-bankruptcy prelude. Haven't seen an...

Re: CVS Closing Dozens of Pharmacies Inside Target

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/11/cvs-to-close-select-pharmacies-in-target-stores-in-the-coming-months.html I wonder how many of the potentially affected 'host' Target locations(likely about 5-10% of the locations with pharmacies)are low volume to begin with.
