Drugstore chain Rite Aid said Tuesday it plans to shutter at least 63 stores as it reassesses how many locations it needs.

The company said the closures were identified as part of an ongoing review and it anticipates it will find additional shops to shut in the next several months.

Rite Aid said its goal is to reduce costs, boost profitability and have a "healthy foundation." The company said the 63 closures, which began last month, are expected to boost its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by roughly $25 million.

On Tuesday, Rite Aid posted mixed financial results for the fiscal third quarter. Although it earned more than expected on an adjusted basis, its sales for the three months ended Nov. 27 came in lower than analysts projected. The retailer also cut its outlook for sales for the fiscal year.

Rite Aid shares closed Tuesday up 21.4%. Shares are down about 4% year to date, putting Rite Aid's market capitalization at about $839 million.

A list of the dozens of stores Rite Aid plans to shut wasn't immediately available. Rite Aid operates more than 2,400 retail pharmacy locations in the U.S.

Last month, drugstore rival CVS Health said it will close roughly 900 stores over the next three years, as it adjusts to shoppers who are buying more online.

Both CVS and Walgreens have been focusing more effort on digital growth and turning stores into destinations that offer a range of health-care services, from flu shots to diagnostic tests.

Retail pharmacies are no exception, and it's clear that the traditional pharmacy model is in crisis. With rising costs for medications and supplies and changing consumer retail habits, this doesn't bode well for the brick-and-mortar community pharmacy. Simply put: the traditional pharmacy model is unsustainable. We will soon see a rash of closing retail pharmacies and consumers scrambling to fill needed prescriptions affordably. You might be asking yourself why this should matter to you as HR and benefit professionals.
