My last Rite Aid in my Area closed today. They had only 90% off greeting cards and some personal care products left. I was able to get some hair color with Ibotta.
Some people didn't believe me with people going crazy with the clearance sales apparently. Every day, the stock was shrinking. I made so many great friends (and 'enemies') but it was fun while it lasted.

Our last RA closed in 2019 so you held on longer than us! Are they all closed now or just in your area?

I agree with the people going nuts for clearance. People were buying at prices that were higher than the sale prices a week or two earlier when ours started liquidating. I wanted to tell people I knew if they waited, I could just get the stuff for free in a couple of weeks for them (with coupons). Still did great at 75% and 90%. I miss RA!

I'm only aware of the closings in my area.
I heard that the rest may close in September, but I am not sure about that news.

I saw on a SM post that now private equity firm Sycamore Partners has bought WAGs and their tactic is to "hollow out"
This [fiercehealthcare.com] article says they're planning to split into 5 separate businesses

So that just leaves CVS?

A commenter on that post said that Costco pharm is getting slammed (as in very busy) since this announcement.

I checked Sycamore Partners, Current Investments and there's Walgreens as well as the Boots Group (the English drugstore chain that used to hold Wags). It's kind of amazing to see what else they own: The Limited, Jones New York, Stuart Weitzman, Aeropostale, Lane Bryant, Staples, etc. Most of these chains or brands I associate with shopping malls. Odd that they also own Staples. I really have no idea what's going on with business these days, but it's clear that Wags is not anywhere near as fun as it used to be. There are still a couple of Rite Aids open near me but they are only sparsely stocked.

I did find this under "News" It doesn't really sound like they are planning to get rid of it. Wags certainly could use some improvement. https://www.sycamorepartners.com/...s-alliance

Count me among your friends Ravi. The hey day of RA will never be duplicated. Those booster $15BC on $50 were gold and you'd provide 4 unique coupons to use. It was a gravy train overflowing with gravy.

Thanks for all you did and all your hard work. Even doing videos in your mask during the covid days. I ran out of my house many evenings at 8pm when some crazy glitch deal would get shared, my wife exclaiming "WHERE ARE YOU GOING??" LOL. there was a smoke trail behind me as I ran out the door because by morning the glitch would probably be fixed.

(ie, buy some dopey $2 item that was paying $5 or $10 bonus cash) Ahh, great times!
