February was a BUSY month in Rite Aid’s mission to become a retail health destination.
Rite Aid celebrated the first of its company-owned RediClinic locations in its own stores at a Feb. 4 ribbon-cutting event. “RediClinic is just one example of how we are taking our commitment to the health and wellbeing of our customers to the next level,” Rite Aid president and COO Ken Martindale noted.
One week later, Rite Aid acquired pharmacy benefit manager Envision Pharmaceutical for $2 billion. “With ...EnvisionRx, we will create a compelling pharmacy offering across retail, specialty and mail-order channels, enabling us to deliver cost-effective solutions to employers and health plans,” said Rite Aid chairman and CEO John Standley.
