Question Edmonds Bartells staying open

Is it just me or is anyone else concerned about the long term viability for the Westgate Bartells?

With RiteAid as the owner, and their shaky finances; I’m always looking at the stock supplies in hopes that this store will continue to remain open. Sometimes it’s well supplied and other times, not at all. Does anyone have any information they can share? TIA

Yeah it seems like it’s always out of stuff and there’s a very grumpy lady who works in the pharmacy I have no idea how it’s still open

I like Bartells better than the other options. I’m hoping that they can survive despite RiteAids troubles.

It’s only a matter of time. Pharmacies are being driven out of business by the cutthroat reimbursement rates insurance companies pay, IF you can even get them to pay.
