The Fate of Rite Aid's Thrifty Ice Cream Is Uncertain
Briefly

Rite-Aid is set to close 10 pharmacies in the Los Angeles area as part of a larger strategy following its second bankruptcy filing. This closure raises questions about the fate of Thrifty Ice Cream, a brand with deep roots in Southern California since 1929. Despite the company’s financial difficulties, Thrifty continues to produce ice cream and sell it at grocery stores, suggesting it might survive independently. Rite-Aid is also in talks to sell its retail pharmacy locations as it restructures to address its inventory shortages.
Rite-Aid's recent announcement to close 10 Los Angeles-area pharmacies highlights concerns regarding the future of famed Thrifty Ice Cream, a beloved brand since 1929.
Despite Rite-Aid's bankruptcy and store closures, Thrifty Ice Cream, which remains a nostalgic symbol for many, continues to provide its products through grocery stores and food services.
