Welcome Rite Aid Pharmacy Patients

Welcome Rite Aid Pharmacy Patients

Welcome to Walgreens. Over the next few months, many Rite Aid locations -- especially in the Northeast and Southern parts of the U.S. will be joining the Walgreens family. Taking care of patients, customers and our local communities is our top priority, and we look forward to having the opportunity to continue serving you.

As a first step, select Rite Aid locations will transfer to Walgreens ownership over the next few months. When this happens, the pharmacies in these stores will be managed by Walgreens. Over the next approximately 18 months, the majority of these locations will convert to full Walgreens locations with the products, services and great prices found at other Walgreens stores nationwide.

Below are answers to a few frequently asked questions.
