More Massachusetts Rite Aid Stores Are Closing – Full List
Last year, Rite Aid announced they they were filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. They also said they were closing about 100 stores nationwide in conjunction with their restructuring efforts. The restructuring is ongoing, and now, Rid Aid is closing more stores nationwide. It’s sad, because Rite Aid is such a legendary American drugstore chain. I also enjoy shopping there, especially when I need to stop in for something small and don’t want to hit up a big store. Now, more Massachusetts Rite Aid stores are closing. Here’s the full list.
Initially, Rite Aid’s store closings were in 12 states, including leased and owned stores, according to A&G Real Estate Partners. Now, more stores are being added to the tally. What if your local spot is on this list? Well, Rite Aid previously published a FAQ stating that it “will make every effort to ensure [affected customers] have access to health services, whether at another Rite Aid or other nearby pharmacy.” Also, if you want to check to see if the local Rite Aid near you is still open, you can use their store locator tool here.
They also stated that the moves were necessary. “Rite Aid is taking an important action that will enable us to strengthen the Company’s financial foundation and ensure we are well-positioned for long-term success,” they said in a release. “We will also use this process to accelerate our turnaround strategy, including optimizing our store footprint to better serve customers and communities, implementing a sale of Elixir Solutions and equitably resolving litigation matters,” they added.

There was only one previously announced Massachusetts Rite Aid stores closing (via SILive.com). That’s the one at 80 East Main Street in Webster. Most states have way more Rite Aids closing, so consider us lucky.
5 Surprising Symptoms People Ignore Most When They're Sick
Cold sweats or Chills
Chills and cold sweats can be uncomfortable. Chills feel like a sudden wave of cold running through your body, making you shiver. Cold sweats, on the other hand, are when you start sweating but your skin feels cold and damp instead of warm. Some people may not immediately associate these symptoms with something serious. They might attribute them to temporary factors such as being in a cold environment or wearing too many layers of clothing. People may underestimate the significance of cold sweats or chills, especially if they are not accompanied by other noticeable symptoms. They may assume it’s just a passing discomfort that doesn’t require medical attention.

Fever
When you have a fever, your body temperature rises above its normal range, which is typically around 98.6°F (37°C). Fevers can vary in severity and may range from mild to high-grade, depending on the underlying cause. Sometimes, people ignore a fever for a few reasons. They might think it’s just a common cold or flu and believe it’ll go away on its own. It’s important to remember that a fever can be a sign that the body is fighting an infection or an underlying health condition.

Body Aches
When you experience body aches, you may feel soreness, tenderness, or a general sense of discomfort in your muscles, joints, or other areas. People may dismiss body aches because they may think it’s just a normal part of everyday life and not something to be concerned about. Some may believe their body aches are due to factors like physical exertion, tiredness, or overexertion during exercise.

Green Mucus
Some people may believe that the color of mucus is not a reliable indicator of an illness. While green mucus can be associated with certain infections or respiratory conditions, it’s not always a definite sign of a serious problem. People may assume that it’s normal and will resolve on its own.
