Rite Aid is a pharmacy chain with locations across Massachusetts. The company is headquartered in Maryland, and operates over 2,000 stores in the state. Rite Aid was the first pharmacy chain to open in Massachusetts, and it remains one of the largest. The company offers a variety of pharmacy services, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, and health and beauty items.
Rite Aid is a member of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, and it contributes money to charity through its philanthropic arm, Rite Aid Foundation. In 2017, Rite Aid announced that it would be closing 150 stores across the country. However, the company has since announced that it will open 20 new stores in the state. It remains to be seen whether or not the closure of the stores will have a significant impact on the overall health of the Massachusetts pharmacy market.
