BELLE VERNON, Pa. — (WPXI)-When you walk up to the doors at the Rite Aid on Rostraver Road in Belle Vernon, you’ll find the doors are locked, and the store permanently closed. Belle Vernon’s Rite Aid is one of three local Rite Aids to close in this round of store closures. The others are a location in Oakland, and the location inside the Pittsburgh International Airport. More closures could be coming. Some communities are trying to get ahead of any possible closures of their Rite Aid locations. Derry Borough Councilman Nathan Bundy said if their Rite Aid closes, the nearest full-service pharmacy would be nearly 20 minutes away by car. There is no word on when, or even if, the Derry location will close. But Bundy said council contacted Rite Aid, local, state, and federal representatives to urge the company to sell this location to another pharmacy. “
