WHATCOM COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Rite Aid will try to sell the majority of its assets, including its Whatcom County locations.

The company said on Monday, May 5 that its stores will remain open for now as it returns to Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.

Rite Aid said it will work to ensure that customer prescriptions are transferred to other pharmacies as it goes through the sale process. The company initially filed for bankruptcy protection in October 2023, with plans to sell parts of its business and restructure.

Rite Aid emerged from Chapter 11 nearly a year later as a private company.

Six stores remain open in Whatcom County, including three in Bellingham, and one each in Ferndale, Lynden, and Blaine.
