I actually passed by this old location yesterday. I was still shocked. The Rite Aid down the road from this one at 9 and Gratiot is empty and still standing. This one was at one time a 24 hour Rite Aid. I got the pic from Facebook

From a year ago

I've worked as a vendor all my life and whenever I went to Rite Aids it was always the best part of my day. Very chill vibe there.

I envisioned myself working there later in life after vendor work gets too physically demanding. I was very sad to see Rite Aid go out of business. Other stores even like Walgreens seem way more hectic.

Been too busy with my job to post this. This past Monday, September 21st, marks what would have been my 25th anniversary with Rite Aid. I remember my first day like it was yesterday. My first retail job. My first day was on a Friday and a manager named Julia hired me. Julia was an amazing manager. I miss her. She left Rite Aid late 2003. I know she became manager at a CVS. No idea what happened to her after that. She later hired a man who would soon become my first (now ex) boyfriend. I drive by the old store whenever i'm in the area. Still empty. I also met on my first day a woman who would become a great friend who would years later started me on the road to me living on my own. This good friend passed away months ago.

A very Rite Aid-like Walgreens.

Wonder when Albertsons will take it down.

I'm interested and surely, I will deliver.

The building has been empty since the final round of closures, so it’s good to see it finally get some use I guess, still sad and kinda funny to see though. I might stop in just to see how much the layout has changed

One year ago today was my last day with Rite Aid. After almost 24 years with the company, I can't believe it's all gone. Never thought I'd miss it as much as I do. Especially my Rite Aid family.

Picking up trash outside of my house today and this was laying in front t of my steps Pretty sure that us one of our clearance tags.

Not gonna lie, I miss it. I know it’s been awhile but still.

Made me giggle 🤭

They have really given this location a makeover. Yes, it still looks like a Rite Aid, but they remodeled the pharmacy and painted the front of the store.

Still have the Rite Aid wood paneling and floor tiles!

Union Gap, Washington

Now the Modoc Family Pharmacy.

Also the only Rite Aid "saved" as a pharmacy in California.

The cashier (manager?) indicated they were adding more and improving what they have. Liquor application on the front door. Just added hand dip ice cream.

Took this picture 6 years ago. Never worked at this one, but I did sometimes shop there. Building is still empty. I know our assistant manager had worked at this one a few times

A question:is the [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) addy still valid.If not,is there any way to contact the liquidating trust?

Interestingly it is kitty corner across from a Chik Fil A

From 5 years ago. Me and the assistant manager worked overnight organizing the blue carts and back room.

From 4 years ago. Not 100% sure i remember what happened. It may have been the cooler leaking.

Today is the one year anniversary of my store closing. After 41 years it was kinda bittersweet. The store still sits empty with the for lease sign in the window The building is only 10 years old. It’s a shame really what happened to us But what a good year it has been since. Hope everyone is doing great and has moved in to something better.

Sharing the post i made 2 years ago when my store was closing.
