EVERETT — The Bartell Drugs at 1825 Broadway will close Jan. 15, its struggling owners Rite Aid confirmed to the Tribune.
Prescriptions were transferred to Walgreens at 2205 Broadway, Rite Aid confirmed.
Rite Aid, which bought the independent Bartell Drugs chain in 2020, is shrinking its store count after filing for voluntary bankruptcy protection in October.
A Bartell Drugs at 3909 Hoyt Ave. close to the Everett Clinic campus is staying, the company confirmed. There’s also a Rite Aid on Evergreen Way at 50th Street.
Rite Aid says that beyond the Broadway store closure, it has not decided to take any further closures.
“At this time, we have not made or confirmed any decisions on additional specific store closures as part of our financial restructuring process,” Rite Aid said in a statement.
Last year it closed its Rite Aid at Evergreen Way and Everett Mall Way in the plaza anchored by Hobby Lobby as part of a wave of 11 store closures statewide and 154 nationally.
There is a Rite Aid in Monroe and both a Rite Aid and a Bartell Drugs in Snohomish. “Currently, there are no plans to close the other store locations you mentioned,” a Rite Aid spokesperson wrote of Snohomish.
