Old Bridge Rite Aid To Change To Walgreens

OLD BRIDGE, NJ — Ninety Rite Aid stores across New Jersey will change to Walgreens soon, and one of those locations is the Rite Aid on Rt. 516 in Old Bridge.

Two Middletown Township Rite Aids will also become Walgreens, as will Rite Aids in South River and Spotswood.

An exact timeline as to when was not provided; the complete transition of all 90 stores to Walgreens is expected to take up to three years, according to Rite Aid.

Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. purchased a total of 1,932 Rite Aid stores across the country for $4.375 billion. Walgreens initially planned to close up of those 600 Rite Aids but that number soon grew to 750, executives said earlier this year.

Rite Aid said that any prescriptions or health care accounts will not change as a result of the conversion. Here are all the local Rite Aids that will become Walgreens:

• Old Bridge: 3891 Route 516
• Marlboro: 107 North Main Street
• Belford: 78 Leonardville Road
