Report: Fred’s could receive cash infusion to help purchase Rite Aid stores
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — More than one prominent investor has recently approached Fred’s Pharmacy with the intention of investing money in the operator of 601 locations in 16 states, according to the New York Post.
The Post posits the cash infusion from one or more sources would help Fred’s pay for and successfully operate the 865 divested Rite Aid stores it pledged to purchase for $950 million, which is a likely a closing condition should the Federal Trade Commission approve the proposed $9.7 billion Walgreens Boots Alliance-Rite Aid merger.
