Two San Luis Obispo County Rite Aids have officially been added to the list of hundreds of stores the chain plans to close in the coming weeks.
According to new court documents filed Friday, Rite Aid confirmed it plans to close an additional 110 stores as it continues through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. That includes the SLO County locations on Quintana Rd. in Morro Bay, and Los Osos Valley Rd. in Los Osos. This comes after all 10 of the county’s current Rite Aid locations escaped the first three rounds of cuts that followed the company’s May 5 bankruptcy announcement. The final day for the Los Osos store is scheduled for June 30th, while the Morro Bay location will stay open until July 7th.
In total, the company has confirmed plans to close more than 400 of its stores. As of now, the other eight San Luis Obispo County locations — from Arroyo Grande to Paso Robles — are not on the closure lists.
If they cannot be sold, however, they could still face permanent closure.
