Nine Pittsburgh area Rite Aids to close as more than 100 stores will close nationwide
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Amid falling sales and opioid-related lawsuits, Rite Aid has filed for bankruptcy.
Here in the Pittsburgh area, nine locations will be closing as a result.
RELATED STORIES:
According to a report from Fast Company, 150 stores will close this year, with nine in the Pittsburgh area shutting their doors.
The locations are as follows below:
- Stevenson Boulevard, New Kensington
- Brighton Avenue, Rochester
- Library Road, Bethel Park
- University Boulevard, Moon Township
- Saw Mill Run Boulevard, Pittsburgh
- Keeport Drive, Pittsburgh
- Route 30, Greensburg
- William Penn Highway, Export
- Wilmington Road, New Castle
With more than 2,100 retail stores across 17 states and thousands of employees, Rite Aid’s filing for Chapter 11 is a last-ditch attempt to reorganize to keep many of its stores open. Wendell Young, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers that represents many Rite Aid employees, says he just heard from Rite Aid officials.
The plan will “significantly reduce the company’s debt” while helping to “resolve litigation claims in an equitable manner,” Rite Aid said.
Rite Aid promises to transfer prescriptions to nearby pharmacies that can best help its customers.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — One person was shot overnight inside Club Pittsburgh, a gay club in the city’s Strip District.
The shooting happened just after 2 a.m. on Friday at the club located along Penn Avenue.
Dispatchers confirmed to KDKA-TV that one person was taken to the hospital. Their condition is unknown at this time.
Police officers, paramedics, and firefighters all responded to the active scene.
It’s unclear what led up to the shooting or if anyone was taken into custody.
The Houston Astros need offensive help in the outfield and will need find a value-forward option in the trade market to do so.
One such player is Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Bryan De La Cruz.
He was a deadline addition last year for the Pirates and saw a sharp decline in play after the deal was made.
Tim Kelly of Bleacher Report now has De La Cruz as the most likely Pittsburgh player to be shipped out this winter.
That leaves the Astros open to swoop in and grab a player who still has a bit of potential for a low price. A possible deal between the two teams could see Houston send prospects Zach Cole and Jackson Nezuh to the Pirates in exchange for the struggling slugger.
De La Cruz posted a disappointing .200/220/.294 slash line over the final 44 games of the 2024 season. It may seem odd to trade for a guy coming off of such a cold stretch, but just a few months ago, he was on All-Star alert and on the verge of a potential 30-plus home run campaign.
Over the first 105 games of the year as a member of the Miami Marlins, he had a much better slash line of .245/.289/.417 with 18 home runs and 51 RBI.
He was one of the few players worth watching in the Marlins lineup this past season.
The 27-year-old debuted back in 2021 and still has a lot of room to grow. If The Astros can get his development turned back around into a positive direction, they could find a serious value with him.
Going back to Jake Meyers, Mauricio Dubon and Chas McCormick alongside Kye Tucker would simply not be acceptable for Houston next season, so they will need to be proactive in upgrading the lineup.
While they don’t have a ton of trade capital in their farm system, they could combine a couple of prospects to entice a team.
Cole is kind of the opposite of De La Cruz.
He’s an incredible defensive presence who can steal bases but doesn’t have much promise at the plate.
Even if the 24-year-old gets called up next year, that isn’t the type of player the Astros need right now.
Nezuh looksed solid in his first professional campaign with a 4.19 ERA and 11.3 K/9.
He is already looking more refined than he did in college, so Houston could do a quick flip of the prospect while the value is growing.
