Rite Aid will maintain its tradition of remaining closed on Thanksgiving Day in 2024, giving its employees a chance to spend the holiday with their families and loved ones. The decision is part of the chain pharmacy's ongoing commitment to promoting work-life balance for its employees.

On Thanksgiving Day, all Rite Aid stores will be closed. Regular store hours will resume on Friday, November 28, 2024.

Rite Aid has been closed on Thanksgiving for several years, following a growing trend among retailers to give employees time off on the holiday. In 2021, the company extended this policy to include Christmas Day as well.

"We're grateful for the opportunity to spend Thanksgiving with our families," said Sarah Johnson, a Rite Aid employee. "It's a special time of year, and we're happy that Rite Aid understands the importance of work-life balance."

Customers who need to fill prescriptions or purchase essential items on Thanksgiving Day are advised to plan ahead and visit the store before it closes on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.

Rite Aid's decision to remain closed on Thanksgiving is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. The company is committed to providing a positive work environment for its employees while also meeting the needs of its customers.
