“Say Goodbye to Your Local Pharmacy: Rite Aid Bankruptcy Cuts Into Supply Chain
The Rite Aid bankruptcy is a story that American’s aging population knows all too well – the loss of independently owned pharmacies. Just last week, Rite Aid filed for Chapter 11 protection. This follows eight years of litigation, which began when Walgreens announced their acquisition of Rite Aid in 2015. The news of Rite Aid bankruptcy has had many implications, and not just for customers. Many stores will have to close their doors, and those that remain open will see reduced services. This means fewer local pharmacy options for customers. The result of this is an increasing reliance on larger drug store chains; such as Walgreens and CVS. Even if you’re not a Rite Aid customer, you’ll feel the effects of their bankruptcy. First, there is the potential of job losses for over four thousand Rite Aid employees. Furthermore, as Rite Aid stores close, there are potential problems with competition in the pharmaceutical market. This means that customers may end up paying more for their medications. In addition, local, independently owned pharmacies (which are generally more customer-oriented) will be further diminished in numbers. The Rite Aid bankruptcy is just one example of how large chain stores are replacing mom-and-pop businesses. This can have a negative impact on local economies, as taxes paid to local governments may decline. Plus, there’s the intangible loss of community resulting from the closure of beloved local establishments. Still, Rite Aid’s bankruptcy is not all bad news. The chain is also looking for potential buyers and partnerships. At the same time, they are also considering other options, in an effort to ensure the long-term success of the company in the retail landscape. This latest news about Rite Aid bankruptcy comes as a reminder to us all to shop and support local, independently owned pharmacies when we can. This helps preserve the character of our towns and cities, and ultimately strengthens their fabric in the long run.
