Rite Aid Closing Georgia Facility, Cutting 297 Jobs

Camp Hill, Pennsylvania-based drug store chain Rite Aid will shut down its distribution center in Newnan, Georgia and cut 297 jobs by the end of September.

Rite Aid bought the Newnan facility in June 2007, when it acquired 1,800 Brooks Eckerd stores and six distribution centers. Once all of the Brooks Eckerd stores were integrated into Rite Aid, the chain said it would consolidate the distribution activities of its 14 distribution centers.

The 194 stores served by the Newnan distribution center will be served by other Rite Aid distribution centers.
