(NEXSTAR) — The total number of Rite Aid stores that have now been designated for closure has surpassed 800, with the latest round of more than 100 locations unveiled in court documents on Friday.

Despite being in the process of selling some of its storefronts and prescription files to other retail pharmacy chains, Rite Aid has been listing dozens of stores weekly for closure as part of its second bankruptcy filing in as many years.

The list of stores outlined in Friday’s court documents includes 118 stores in 11 states. Like others before them, these closures are pending court approval and could face objections.

California

Connecticut

Delaware

Idaho

Maryland

Massachusetts

New Hampshire

New Jersey

New York

Pennsylvania

Washington

The full list of more than 800 Rite Aid stores slated for closure can be seen in the interactive list below:

!function(){“use strict”;window.addEventListener(“message”,(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[“datawrapper-height”]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(“iframe”);for(var t in a.data[“datawrapper-height”])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[“datawrapper-height”][t]+”px”;r.style.height=d}}}))}();

The exact timeline of when these stores will close hasn’t been released.

These impending closures don’t come as much of a surprise. Last month, Rite Aid listed nearly all of its 1,240 stores for sale as part of the bankruptcy process. As of Monday, Rite Aid lists 1,204 stores on its website.

Similar retail pharmacy chains are poised to take over those storefronts. As part of a May bidding process, CVS agreed to acquire and operate 64 Rite Aid stores in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Specific details on this process, which is subject to final approval, have not been released. Walgreens, meanwhile, reached an agreement with Rite Aid to acquire prescription files from some of its pharmacy locations across nine states.

If your Rite Aid location is closing soon, you may have already received a notice. If not, experts recommend speaking with your pharmacist about how your prescriptions could be impacted.
