Rite Aid has been scaling back for a while. The company sold 1,932 Rite Aid stores to Walgreens in 2018, including 120 New Jersey locations.

In Middlesex County, Rite Aid stores were converted to Walgreens stores in at least four communities: Monroe, Old Bridge, South River, and Spotswood. The Rite Aid store in Carteret, among others in the county, was permanently closed.

Rite Aid filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to begin restructuring that would significantly reduce the company’s $2 billion debt.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Michael Kaplan, presiding in Trenton, approved Rite Aid’s bankruptcy plan in June. Rite Aid plans to emerge from bankruptcy with $2.55 billion in financing from its lenders, according to Reuters, Rite Aid posted a restructuring statement on its website.
