Lakewood Rite Aid Closing in May, Sale Begins at 50% Off
Get ready, bargain hunters! We expected some Rite Aid locations to close, when Walgreens bought more than 1,000 of its stores last fall. And, apparently, it’s starting. According to our sources, as of now, this is the only Rite Aid location in the Denver metro area closing — 11907 W. Alameda Pkwy. in Lakewood.
The store will officially shutter on May 16. We’ve personally investigated the sale and it’s a little weird. It seems half the store is part close-out sale and the other half is “business as usual” (with regular and sale prices still in effect.)
You can still use manufacturer’s coupons, according to one of the managers. However, to get all of the close-out prices, you must use your shopper’s loyalty card, Wellness+ Rewards. [Read more…] about Lakewood Rite Aid Closing in May, Sale Begins at 50% Off
