Does Rite Aid Accept EBT?
No — Rite Aid has closed all its U.S. stores (October 2025), so there's no location left to swipe an EBT card at.
What Happened
Rite Aid filed for its second Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2025 (after emerging from a first filing in September 2024) and shut its remaining stores by early October 2025, ending 63 years in business. There is no Rite Aid location left to accept EBT — the USDA SNAP retailer data used on this site had not yet fully purged its old Rite Aid listings as of our last refresh, which is why any lingering count should be read as historical, not current.
