Giant Eagle will take prescriptions from 78 Rite Aid locations. Here's where the first transfers are.
Giant Eagle says it's taking customer prescriptions from nearly 80 Rite Aid locations, which are closing after the drugstore chain filed for bankruptcy again.
Giant Eagle says it reached an agreement with Rite Aid to transfer pharmacy prescriptions for 78 locations across Pennsylvania and Ohio. The company says it expects to close on the purchase of the prescriptions in "waves" during June, with the first 30 transfers taking effect by the end of next week.
Giant Eagle will reach out to affected Rite Aid customers to let them know about the change. Jannah Drexler, a spokesperson for Giant Eagle, said on the effective date set for a Rite Aid location to transfer its information, prescriptions will automatically be sent to the closest Giant Eagle.
"Their prescription information that they house in those stores, due to regulatory reasons, has to have another designated home," Drexler said.
If you want to go to a different Giant Eagle location, you can. If you don't want to use Giant Eagle, you can transfer it to another retailer, either before the effective transfer date through your Rite Aid location or after through Giant Eagle.
"We're excited to welcome new patients to our Giant Eagle Pharmacy," Giant Eagle president and CEO Bill Artman said in a news release. "We pride ourselves on running a nationally recognized pharmacy and drugstore business where our licensed pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are committed to delivering trusted, personalized care. When paired with the value and convenience of our drugstore and supermarket offerings, we're proud to provide a comprehensive, one-stop shopping experience."
In the meantime, Giant Eagle says it's "actively" trying to expand its pharmacy team to meet the demand of new patients.
Here are the first Giant Eagle locations to take prescriptions
Giant Eagle says right now, it can share the specific information of 30 Rite Aid locations.
The agreement between the two companies is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, Giant Eagle says.
These are the first 30 pharmacies that will be taking Rite Aid prescriptions.
