RITE AID DRUGS TO OPEN NEW STORES

RITE AID DRUGSTORES, originally located in Scranton, Pennsylvania began
as a single store. In 1996 it acquired the vast west coast based Thrifty Drug Store chain of over 1000 stores, It became one of the three largest drug store chains in the United States, possibly the world. This resulted in two things. Items that previously cost $1.00 in the Thrifty chain now cost over two dollars. The other innovation, since Rite Aid spans both coasts, an item stolen in a store in Los Angeles can be returned for store credit in any Rite Aid stores from California to New England..

Consequently, now Rite Aid Drugs has decided to diversify, so a large number of spin-off stores and subsidiaries have sprung up that bear some resemblance to Rite Aid marketing and promotional practices, yet specialize in a certain field with a targeted audience.

Of course the first and most obvious spin-off is going to be a chain of stores specializing in doctor’s supplies and surgical equipment. It’s going to be called FIRST AID.

A second spin-off is a chain of stores specializing in band instruments, uniforms, accessories and supplies for High School and College Marching Bands. It’s going to be called BAND AID, and it is projected to be hugely successful.

Another subsidiary is going to specialize solely in Hip Hop items, clothes, fashions, shoes, posters, CD’s, and DVD’s. It’s going to be known as KOOL AID.

Another store targets Candy-Stripers, adolescent teen age girls volunteering their time studying to be nurses. It will be called, what else?—NURSES AID..

Another specializes exclusively in equipment and supplies for Jails, Prisons, and Penitentiaries, the Inmates ,Guards, and Staff. It’s going to be called STOCKADE!

Children’s toys for pre-school toddlers: BLOCKADE.

And last but not least, a chain of stores specializing in the Occult, Wicca, and Botanica. Supplies and Appurtenances for Magick Rituals and Ceremonies, Spells, Potions, and Candle Burning.. Of course, it’s going to be called RITE AID!
