Two more Pittsburgh-area Rite Aid locations closing

According to court documents, two more Rite Aid locations are closing in the Pittsburgh area.

Documents filed on Tuesday show the Rite Aid at 100 Forbes Avenue in Downtown Pittsburgh and at 31 North Jefferson Street in New Castle are among the latest round of closures for the company that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year.

The Downtown location is expected to close in mid-June.

The following locations have been closed in the area:

Baldwin – Keeport Drive
Bethel Park – Library Road
Crafton-Ingram shopping center
Export – William Penn Highway
Greensburg – Route 30
Hazelwood – Second Avenue
Hempfield – Route 30
Jeannette – Clay Avenue
New Kensington – Stevenson Boulevard
Moon Township – University Boulevard
Murrysville – William Penn Highway
New Castle – Wilmington Road
Penn Hills – Saltsburg Road
Pittsburgh - at the intersection of 88 and 51 on Saw Mill Run Boulevard
Downtown Pittsburgh – Smithfield Street
Rochester – Brighton Road

The chain has filed for bankruptcy due to declining sales, increasing debt and mounting lawsuits following the opioid epidemic.

Rite Aid is the third-largest drugstore in the country, behind Walgreens and CVS.

Over 250 locations in several states have closed or are set to close.
