Been working Wags since January. Came from Rite Aid 4247 (now torn down and a Bellstores, RIP). I have to just air it out there… We had the best system for tags. Ordering signage was a breeze. Everything was so user friendly when it wanted to be. I absolutely hate this Mylar system and the materials used for hanging said tags. Cheap plastic shelf strips, plastic dividers, not perforated promo tags, IT GOES ON!!!! Having to change strips in each bay due to residue is so common our SM has pages of specific planograms that need replaced. All the while pushing immunizations, seasonal, overstock (AWFUL SYSTEM ANOTHER CAN OF WORMS TO ME), photo department, pharmacy assistance, it just is a nightmare. I am thankful to be back in my feet at a steady job, it’s been rough since the closure for us in 2024. Such a good place to work for. God Bless Heyward Donigan and repent the SS of Stein and Schroeder

holy i wouldn’t never thought i would miss this store as i do. i miss the signs, the fake wood, the employees, the customers, the items the lighting i js can’t believe its all gone and this is all that remains.

Rite aid is horrible company in the world.

Vote 🗳 for pharmacy services in your area. New Rite Aid is trying to restore some form of pharmacy services.

I drove by a place i lived at for 2 years yesterday and passed by a Rite Aid i went into a couple of times.

Anyway, I noticed that in that location is going what i'm pretty sure is a dry cleaners.

This is from 6 years ago. I always loved going in the cooler

Coremark is from 4 years ago, Christmas is from 7 years ago

Posting some photos from last year that might help the context for my post yesterday of a Rite Aid converted to a Grocery Outlet (in Canby, Oregon).

Photos of this location, at the corner of 176th Street East and Gem Heights Drive in Puyallup, Washington, were taken on August 3rd, 2025. It was remodeled at some point to take out the short aisles which were commonplace in the Customer World design in order to convert to the Wellness design.

I was just is driving by and thought I'd stop in and take a peek. You wouldn't know it had ever been a Rite Aid on the inside, but clearly on the outside there are indications.

What’s up everyone! How’s everybody? Hope all is will! Been more than a year but I still miss rite aid 😂😂

From a year ago

I actually passed by this old location yesterday. I was still shocked. The Rite Aid down the road from this one at 9 and Gratiot is empty and still standing. This one was at one time a 24 hour Rite Aid. I got the pic from Facebook

I've worked as a vendor all my life and whenever I went to Rite Aids it was always the best part of my day. Very chill vibe there.

I envisioned myself working there later in life after vendor work gets too physically demanding. I was very sad to see Rite Aid go out of business. Other stores even like Walgreens seem way more hectic.

Been too busy with my job to post this. This past Monday, September 21st, marks what would have been my 25th anniversary with Rite Aid. I remember my first day like it was yesterday. My first retail job. My first day was on a Friday and a manager named Julia hired me. Julia was an amazing manager. I miss her. She left Rite Aid late 2003. I know she became manager at a CVS. No idea what happened to her after that. She later hired a man who would soon become my first (now ex) boyfriend. I drive by the old store whenever i'm in the area. Still empty. I also met on my first day a woman who would become a great friend who would years later started me on the road to me living on my own. This good friend passed away months ago.

A very Rite Aid-like Walgreens.

Wonder when Albertsons will take it down.

The building has been empty since the final round of closures, so it’s good to see it finally get some use I guess, still sad and kinda funny to see though. I might stop in just to see how much the layout has changed

One year ago today was my last day with Rite Aid. After almost 24 years with the company, I can't believe it's all gone. Never thought I'd miss it as much as I do. Especially my Rite Aid family.
