Rite Aid to Close Wilsonville Warehouse in 2024, Affecting 136 Oregon Workers

Rite Aid plans to close its Wilsonville warehouse in April 2024, affecting 136 workers. Layoffs will begin in January.

The closure comes after Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy due to slumping sales and lawsuits over its role in the opioid crisis.

As part of bankruptcy, Rite Aid will close 154 underperforming stores nationwide. It closed a Portland store in September.

Rite Aid says the warehouse closure was based on business strategy, lease considerations, local conditions, and performance.

It's unclear how the warehouse closure will impact Rite Aid's other Oregon stores. The company didn't respond to a request for comment.
