Albertsons’ Rite Aid Acquisition Provides Rare Investment Opportunity
Albertsons’ Rite Aid acquisition is creating a unique absolute triple net lease investment opportunity. On February 20, Albertsons—one of the nation’s largest grocery retailers—announced that it will purchase a portion of publicly traded Rite Aid, creating a new corporate entity valued at $24 billion. Rite Aid pharmacies will be branded within Albertsons locations, and a combined company will operate standalone Rite Aid pharmacies.
