(Ambridge, PA) The Rite-Aid store located on Merchant Street in Ambridge is the last in Beaver County set to close after Rite-Aid filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 5th, 2025. A filing that was made recently by Rite Aid came with an announcement that another 118 Rite Aid stores would close. The other pharmacy branches announced that the other stores in Beaver County would be closing in the month of May. According to Rite Aid officials, the company has faced financial hardships since emerging from bankruptcy in September of 2024. This is due to challenges of econmics that are “intensified by the rapidly evolving retail and healthcare landscapes.” Several other local pharmacies, including CVS, Giant Eagle, Walgreens, Weis Markets and others have received a sale of prescription files from Rite-Aid.
