Memphis-Area Rite Aid Locations (2018)

Today's post primarily highlights Shelby County, TN, retail, as well as that of DeSoto County, MS, and Tipton County, TN.

As promised, the blog will wrap up its series featuring Memphis-area Rite Aid stores with this post listing all ten of the area locations as of 2018, the year Rite Aid departed the Memphis market. I emphasize 2018 specifically because Rite Aid in the past had plenty more locations in the area, but I didn't do enough research to dig all of those up! I also was hoping to present this information to you in the form of something called a Fusion Table, which allows you to click between the info in table form, flashcard form, and map form. I prepared the Fusion Table last summer when the closures were still fresh, but unfortunately, Google (the operator) "powered down" support for Fusion Tables this month, erasing that work. So, we'll have to settle for just looking at each store one-by-one in list format below. I've got the list organized by store number, and additional details are included in the bullet points for each store. For those stores that I've written posts on, you can click on the store number hyperlink to visit those posts. For those stores for which I have not written posts, some pictures I was able to find online follow. Enjoy!

And with that, I think I can officially call both this Memphis-area Rite Aid series, and this year on the blog, complete. Thanks for following along, folks! As I said in yesterday's Union Avenue Rite Aid post, we'll see more Rite Aid stuff in the future, just not any of these Memphis-area stores. And, of course, we'll see plenty of additional content in the year to come as well, so please do continue to check out the Mid-South Retail Blog in 2020! Until then, wishing you all a wonderful holiday season... and, as always, have fun exploring the retail world wherever you are!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
