In Short
Debuting in 1962 as Thrif D Discount Center in Scranton, Pa., this drugstore chain became known as Rite Aid in 1968, and today is one of the largest in the nation. In addition to a pharmacy, each store carries a wide variety of health-care and household items--from nutritional supplements to cleaning supplies to snack foods. Flu clinics are held at various locations throughout the flu season.

A maze of confusion

by jericsmall

This Rite-Aid on Sunset Blvd recently remodeled and rearranged the entire store, in theory to make the place better. Sadly, all they accomplished was making it harder to shop, as you now have to zig-zag your way through, even just to get to the pharmacy. Probably some smartie thought this would force people to browse the aisles but all in all it's simply annoying. And now the pharmacy waiting line has no room to handle more than one person without overflowing into the nearest aisle. And expect to wait. This place is slow as molasses.

• Pros: Well lit
• Cons: Parking usually is too full
