Rite Aid has been closing stores as part of bankruptcy. These locations closed in NH

Rite Aid pharmacies have steadily closing, including four in New Hampshire.

Nationwide drugstore chain Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy in October of last year. Ever since then, it has announced the closures of hundreds of stores.

"Rite Aid Corporation is also proud to be one of the nation's leading drugstore chains," the company website says. "With approximately 1,700 retail pharmacy locations across 16 states, we have a strong presence on both the East and West Coasts, employing more than 51,000 associates."

While, that is true, the number of retail pharmacy locations used to be well over 2,000. However, since declaring bankruptcy, that figure has diminished to 1553 stores, according to the Rite Aid store locations webpage.
