US PHARMACY chain Rite Aid is shuttering an additional 31 stores in a dozen states, according to a recent bankruptcy court filing.
The company told USA Today that more than 150 other store closures were announced last month when it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Rite Aid spokesperson Catherine Carter said the stores that will be closing have been underperforming and will be closed "to further reduce rent expense and strengthen overall financial performance of the group".
The company plans to give workers the option to transfer to other locations.
