Store won't stay where they can't make a proffit. My guess is to much merchandise walking out the door not being paid for in certain areas. Next the same people will be crying about being in a food desert and not make a connection.

Yep!!
Minimum wages are high there and to much theft and margins aren't good.

poverty mart
they intentionally sell things that are a worse deal but at a quantity that makes a price point.
they intentionally seek populations that will buy from them.

we have 2 here the old store almost directly across from the trailer park and the new one they put on the other side of town town is 1 1/2 miles corner to corner , they know they want to be walking distance from the trailer park.
and a family dollar set up next door from the old DG by the trailer park

helping to keep people living paycheck to paycheck , one bad deal at a time.

Rite Aid has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy multiple times, with the most recent filing occurring in May 2025.
The pharmacy chain has faced significant challenges, including mounting debt, declining sales due to increased competition from larger chains like CVS and Walgreens, and hundreds of lawsuits related to its role in the opioid crisis.
As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, Rite Aid has been undertaking a major restructuring effort, including:
Significant Store Closures: Rite Aid has closed hundreds of stores since its initial bankruptcy filing in 2023, reducing its footprint from over 2,284 locations to approximately 1,245 before the most recent filing. Further closures are planned or have already taken place in 2025, according to Newsweek.
Debt Reduction: The restructuring efforts have aimed to significantly reduce Rite Aid's substantial debt burden. The first bankruptcy successfully cut approximately $2 billion in debt. The recent filing is also expected to involve further debt reduction.
Asset Sales: Rite Aid has been selling off assets, including its pharmacy benefit company Elixir, and is selling or closing its remaining locations. These assets are being acquired by other companies, including CVS, Walgreens, and others.
Operating as a Private Company: Following its emergence from the first bankruptcy in September 2024, Rite Aid operated as a private company owned by its lenders.
Impact of the bankruptcy
For Customers: While Rite Aid aims to ensure uninterrupted pharmacy services during the restructuring, customers should be aware that their prescription records may be transferred to other pharmacies as stores close or are sold. Rite Aid has also stopped issuing customer rewards points.
For Employees: The bankruptcy has unfortunately led to job cuts, particularly in corporate and administrative roles.

Stores closing is just a symptom of bigger problem, which is the lawless, anything goes culture that is life in the hood. Don't hear much about it these days, but quick search indicates there were 25 people shot and 2 murders in Chicago just last week alone. It was bad before George Floyd fiasco, but they took the brakes off after that and now thugs are running wild and unchecked. About all civil authority seems interested in is blaming others and getting previous night's damage swept up off the streets before it gets dark and carnage starts all over again.

To stay open, a store would have to implement security and take the blame when rules enforced. Since there is little to no profit possible, far easier just to abandon the place and walk away. Thugs reap what they sow, but never seem to learn that lesson.

Going to be interesting to see how Trump bunch handles the thugs in DC, following beat down of Big Balls. Are they willing to do what needs to be done?

Walmart is closing 11 stores this year and adding 8. They plan to open 150 more stores over the next 5 years. If the people in a given area want to rob or allow a store to be constantly robbed, they can't reasonably expect it to stay open for them. It's not racist to close a store, it's business.

I get people frequently trying to scam me in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Asian people in Wisconsin and Minnesota, so I don't ship birds there or to them, or even return their calls or texts. I know there are mostly decent people in those places too, but it's not worth the frustration from dealing with the scammers.

Walmart comes into a small town, kills the mom and pop stores, then leaves,, and the results are a ghost town that have really nothing left except for bars and gambling parlors and Maybe a Casey’s and a dollar general.
