Rite Aid has sold the pharmacy services of most of its stores across the United States to several rivals. The bankrupt company announced the fire sale Thursday, with CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, Albertsons and Kroger scooping up Rite Aid’s pharmacy services at more than 1,000 locations.

(Reuters) -Healthcare conglomerate CVS Health has bid for stores and patient data in the U.S. Pacific Northwest from bankrupt pharmacy chain operator Rite Aid, according to two people familiar with the matter on Thursday.

What isn't clear is whether the Bartell name that has been such a presence in the Seattle area will survive, with several experts warning that the ubiquitous brand could disappear.
