Giant Eagle taking prescriptions from another wave of closing Rite Aid stores
Giant Eagle has released another list of locations that will take over prescriptions from closing Rite Aid stores.
Giant Eagle in May announced that it will acquire customer prescriptions from nearly 80 Rite Aid locations, which are closing after the drugstore chain filed for bankruptcy again.
On Monday, Giant Eagle released the names of 15 additional Rite Aid locations that will have their prescriptions transferred to Giant Eagle pharmacies, with the changes taking effect this week. Giant Eagle said prescriptions will automatically be sent to the closest stores, and Rite Aid customers will be told about the change.
Rite Aid customers who want to go to a different Giant Eagle location can. Customers who don't want to use Giant Eagle can transfer to another retailer, either before the effective transfer date through Rite Aid or after through Giant Eagle.
"Their prescription information that they house in those stores, due to regulatory reasons, has to have another designated home," Giant Eagle spokesperson Jannah Drexler explained in May.
Two Rite Aid stores will become standalone Giant Eagle pharmacies, but Giant Eagle hasn't released the locations yet.
