Prescriptions from the former Rite Aid at 1201 S Bethlehem Pike in Ambler are being transferred to the CVS at 272 E Butler Avenue, according to a Pharmacy Closure and Transfer List released by Rite Aid.

The transfers are part of CVS Pharmacy’s acquisition of select Rite Aid assets nationwide. In all, CVS purchased the prescription files of more than 9 million patients.

“We’re excited to have completed the acquisition of select Rite Aid and Bartell Drugs stores in the Pacific Northwest, as well as the acquisition of prescription files of hundreds of Rite Aid and Bartell Drugs pharmacies across 15 states,” said Len Shankman, Executive Vice President and President, Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness, CVS Health. “We’re helping maintain and expand access to convenient and trusted pharmacy care across the U.S. and growing our retail footprint and presence in local communities. From our innovative pharmacy care programs to our exclusive store brand products, we look forward to showing Rite Aid and Bartell Drugs patients and customers all that CVS has to offer.”
