> I have two pharmacies in my town, but they're both owned by RiteAid which can't keep inventory on the shelves.

Rite Aid filed chapter 11 bankruptcy almost 2 years ago.

Sure, but the point of Chapter 11 is to restructure so you can hopefully get back to operating profitably.

Yes, keyword hopefully...over some indeterminate time horizon...but surely not a mere 6 months after emergence from a legal proceeding that took a year to resolve.

Commodified OTCs are hardly raking in compelling margins relative to filling scripts, so it's unsurprising that some Rite Aids are operating as the parent reports.
