One Goes UP!

Anyone that has travelled near the corner of East 185th Street and Lakeshore Boulevard has seen big changes! The exterior of the new Rite Aid is nearly completely up. At this pace, it is fair to believe that the store will open as scheduled by September of this year.

Since Medic Drug left the region in 2005, the East 185th Street area has been without a pharmacy within walking distance. We are very excited that Rite Aid responded to our market data that we sent in 2006. Since that initial discussion, we have worked with Rite Aid officials on finding the best location for their new flagship store. While the location selected wasn't our initial preference, landing this national drug store chain on the street and having them build a new building shows the strength of this neighborhood. We welcome the progress made so far and look forward to the grand opening!
