Rite Aid has made the decision to close two more Pittsburgh area locations in addition to the nine that are closing or have already been closed since the pharmacy chain filed for bankruptcy in mid-October. Rite Aid is planning to close 167 locations nationwide.

The University Boulevard location across from Robert Morris permanently closed on October 25. The new additions to the Rite Aid chopping block are the stores on 623 Smithfield Street in Downtown Pittsburgh and 4934 Second Avenue in Hazelwood.

The pharmacy chain announced it planned to close seven percent of its locations as it proceeds through Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Company representatives stated that voluntarily going through Chapter 11 bankruptcy would help to cut the company’s debt significantly and to resolve ongoing litigation “in an equitable manner.”

Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy because of falling sales and lawsuits accusing them of filling unlawful prescriptions for opioids which contributed to the country’s opioid abuse epidemic. Filing for bankruptcy was the company’s last resort option to reorganize to keep the chain afloat.

“The company is making every effort to ensure customers of impacted stores have access to health services, whether at another Rite Aid or a nearby pharmacy and will work to transfer prescriptions accordingly so that there is no disruption of services. The company will also transfer associates at impacted stores to other Rite Aid locations where possible,” Rite Aid released in a statement.
