Had no idea a boycott was happening.

    The Rite Aid near us actually was 3/4 empty all through the pandemic. They put up a sign saying they were remodeling, but closed a few months ago.

      Drug stores are so fucking weird. It’s a business model that apparently supports a store on every corner, yet they often go out of business too. And it’s always Rite Aids going out of business, although I couldn’t say what the difference is between those and the other chains.

        there’s only a couple of companies that run every drug store in the us. both cvs and walgreens each own over a dozen other names that they operate as depending on where in the country you are.

        same thing with grocery stores. Kroger and Safeway also both own over a dozen names that they operate under.

        I believe rite aid is owned by walgreens.

        A long time ago, i woked at a savers (thrift store), which also operated as a dozen other names depending on region. Makes me think that maybe someone could make a bot that could identify a person’s geographic location based on the brands mentioned in their comments.
