Rite Aid in Zanesville to Close

Zanesville,OH- A downtown store is closing its doors.

The Rite Aid at 825 Main Street is targeted for closure as the ailing pharmacy chain looks to exit bankruptcy after winning court approval for the restructuring late last month.

Rite Aid filed for Chapter 11 protection in October 2023 and said it would initially close 154 stores. It has since closed more than 520 locations in bankruptcy or about a quarter of the 2,111 stores that the retailer had been operating when it sought court protection.

The Zanesville closure is just one of 13 locations that was targeted for closure in the state earlier this week.
