莱特艾德在第二次破产申请后关闭全国所有门店

摘要

莱特艾德在两年内第二次申请第11章破产保护后,已停止在美国所有门店的运营。

莱特艾德在两年内第二次申请第11章破产保护后,已停止在美国所有门店的运营。公司在其官网上宣布:“所有莱特艾德门店现已关闭。我们感谢忠实客户多年来的支持。”

莱特艾德成立于1962年,最初名为宾夕法尼亚州斯克兰顿的Thrift D折扣中心,后来发展成为全国第三大独立药房连锁。然而,近年来公司面临重大财务挑战,包括销售下滑、债务增加以及与阿片类药物危机相关的众多诉讼。

2023年10月,莱特艾德申请第11章破产保护,负债约40亿美元,并面临超过一千起与阿片类药物相关的诉讼。公司于2024年9月脱离破产保护,但财务状况依然艰难。2025年5月,莱特艾德再次申请破产,宣布计划关闭或出售剩余门店,并清算资产以偿还债权人。

门店关闭加剧了药房荒漠问题,使许多农村和服务不足的社区难以获得药物。其他大型连锁如沃尔格林和CVS也在关闭门店,进一步恶化了这一问题。

莱特艾德的关闭标志着这家曾在全国运营超过5000家门店的公司的一个时代的结束。建议顾客联系其处方医生或当地药房,转移处方以确保医疗服务的连续性。
