The Rite Aid store in McCall will close.
In a document filed late Friday afternoon before the holiday weekend, legal counsel for Rite Aid identified another 151 store locations it plans to shut down across 10 states.
Rite Aid has said that each of its stores across the country will close as part of bankruptcy proceedings currently underway, with the exception of 64 stores across Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. Those stores will be scooped up by CVS and converted. Neither CVS nor Rite Aid has identified which stores would be flipped from Rite Aid to CVS.
Rite Aid operates eight stores in Idaho, including two in Boise, and one in Caldwell, Lewiston, Hayden, Coeur d’Alene, and Moscow, as well as the McCall store on Deinhard Ln.
Rite Aid also said it would close the stores in Caldwell, Moscow, and Hayden.
While all of Rite Aid’s 1,277 stores will eventually be closed or converted to CVS, this latest round of closings will happen on an accelerated timeline.
A number of other companies, including Boise-based Albertsons, have purchased the pharmacy lists from Rite Aid. An employee at the McCall store said that prescriptions currently filled at Rite Aid will be transferred to Albertsons.
Following the Rite Aid closure, Albertsons will be the sole provider of prescriptions in McCall, and with Medcap Pharmacy in Cascade, one of only two pharmacies in the county. A closing date has not yet been announced.
The Rite Aid building at 451 Deinhard Ln. is owned by the JR Simplot Company, according to Valley County property records.
