Rite Aid announced plans to close a second store in Youngstown.

Court documents show that the 2800 Mahoning Ave. location will close soon, in addition to one recently closed at 2701 Market Street.

The closings were announced after Rite Aid filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October and cited opioid lawsuits and slow sales.
