Albertsons, a grocery chain with over 2500 stores in 37 states, announced on February 20, 2018 that it plans to acquire the remainder of the Rite Aid stores, the third-largest pharmacy chain. It will be acquiring those stores that were not part of the Walgreens purchase in January. This combined company will have about 4,900 locations, 4,350 pharmacy counters and 320 clinics across the U.S. The merger is set to close in the second half of the year. Most of Albertsons’ pharmacies will be rebranded as Rite Aid. The deal is aimed at competing with retail giant Amazon, which is eyeing its own entry into healthcare, as well as Walmart and CVS.
This is a win for both companies: Rite Aid will get a buyer for the remainder of their stores; Albertsons will add new locations and size under growing pressure from online competitors. The two companies have a combined value of around $24B, including debt, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Walgreens expects to close the acquisition of nearly half of its rival’s stores in the spring. When this merger is complete, Walgreens will own about the same number of stores as archival CVS Health (9600).
Walgreens is also said to be in early-stage talks to acquire AmerisourceBergen, a drug wholesale company.
