Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy on May 5 and announced plans to close more Delaware stores in a series of waves that include locations in Camden, Dover, and Wilmington—stores affected by a move that ended rewards points and gift card use by June 5.

The closures follow earlier rounds that reduced Rite Aid’s market presence significantly since October 2023.

Two men from Middletown and Townsend were charged with cutting fiber optic wires that interrupted 911 service—State Police reported an incident on May 10 and another on May 30 near Summit Bridge Road and Green Giant Road, with both suspects facing multiple felony charges.

Organizations can apply for grants between $10,000 and $40,000 for Spring planting projects under the Tree for Every Delawarean Initiative, which aims to plant 1M trees by 2030.
