More pharmacies closing in New Jersey, adding to layoffs

New Jersey’s single largest company layoff announcement this year, so far, just got bigger.

Rite Aid announced in May that 1,122 workers at locations statewide would be laid off on a rolling basis, starting June 4.

That same month, the pharmacy store chain announced 16 New Jersey stores would be closed as part of its overall Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings.

Now, another four New Jersey stores have been added to the list, for a total of 20 store closures — among 957 Rite Aid closures announced nationwide.

That leaves 40 locations in the state, according to the company’s website.
