Franklin Park Mall gets new Rite Aid

Vandervert Construction is building a new Rite Aid store on the north end of Franklin Park Mall. At a project value of $2.8 million, the construction will erect a 17,400-square-foot store at 5840 N. Division St.

The new store will replace a Rite Aid store in Franklin Park Mall where a second Trader Joe’s for Spokane is set to be built. The California grocery retailer will go into roughly half of the Rite Aid building currently in the mall.

Rite Aid’s new site, which will include a drive-thru, is near the Burlington Coat Factory building. The store is expected to open this summer.
