Rite Aid may be moving its headquarters from Camp Hill, Cumberland County to Philadelphia but thanks to its new remote-first initiative, the pharmaceutical chain plans to expand its corporate team of 700.
Rite Aid announced on Tuesday that it will be relocating its headquarters to a new Philadelphia location early next year as it moves to a new focus on remote work.
As part of the move, Rite Aid plans to open “regional collaboration centers” across the country that will allow its teams to work together when needed. Rite Aid hasn’t announced where these hubs will be located but has confirmed that one will be in the midstate.
“This is about building a reimagined workplace, where our associates have the flexibility they prefer and also have innovative, modern and new spaces that demonstrates a new Rite Aid,” said Brad Ducey, senior manager of external communications at Rite Aid.
Rite Aid doesn’t expect to see any layoffs as part of the move to Philadelphia and instead is actively hiring and looking to grow its corporate team, according to Ducey.
Rite Aid has yet to announce plans for its current properties in the region, including the company headquarters at 30 Hunter Lane, Camp Hill.
