History
Alex Grass founded Thrift D Discount Center in Scranton, Pennsylvania, which was a health and beauty aids store, without a pharmacy. Later by the virtue of its growth in the pharmacy industry, the company was christened its current name. By 1965, The Rite Aid had expanded into 5 northeast states through acquisitions and new stores. Just ten years after its first store opened, the company operated 267 locations in 10 states. In 1983, the pharmacy chain marked a sales milestone of $1 billion. With the acquisition of Gray Drug in 1987, a 420-store acquisition along the east coast expanded Rite Aid’s holdings beyond 2,000 locations.
The other companies acquired were Baltimore, Maryland’s Read’s Drug Store, on April 10, 1989, Peoples Drug’s 114 unit Lane Drug of Ohio, twenty-four Hook’s Drug stores from Revco in 1994 ( it sold nine among these stores to Perry Drug Stores, a Michigan-based pharmacy chain. One year later, in turn, it acquired 224-store Perry chain) and the 1,000-store West Coast chain Thrifty PayLess was later acquired in 1996. Further, the acquisitions of Harco, Inc. and K&B, Inc. brought Rite Aid into the Gulf Coast area. With its well planned acquisition strategies and simultaneously opening its new stores, the pharmacy chain went on to become one of the top companies of the United States.
Analysts have reported that among all those things there is to consider, it is a wiser bet to go with Walgreens’s judgment and the 28.5% upside in Rite Aid stock. Entering the pharmacy benefit management space has given Rite Aid an added potential in the stock market. The company’s Wellness Store initiative is proving extremely successful. By having initiated the wellness+ loyalty program it could boost customer counts even further for the company. With all the statistics and it glorious history to success mentioned above, you must ascertain that RAD stock is the superior option, if you are looking for a good merger arbitrage investment opportunity.
