A Complete Conversion in Oneida

When I discovered Rite Aid was no longer in Oneida and Walgreens was, I figured I would show up to see exactly what has happened.

This might be something to expect from Walgreens. Surprisingly the handles didn't receive the tape job and got genuine Technibilt inserts with Walgreens labeling. This cart is dated 10/24/11.

While the one in East Greenbush is in the beginning stages of being transformed into a Walgreens, this location on Genesee St. in Oneida is complete.

Somehow they brought this crummy old United from the former RA in the Glenwood Shopping Center. This one is dated 3-96.

It is very clear many aisles were shifted due to the amount of intact full and half blue tiles that were under the original shelving.

Food center received a new coat of paint and Walgreens decor.

More blue tiles.

Someone on Reddit via the r/WalgreensStores subreddit told me the plastic carts did get the tape job. No rebadging on these Rehrigs.

The tape job doesn't entirely hide the RITE AID logo.


Meanwhile...

The Rite Aid in the Glenwood Shopping Center closed in order for the conversion to take effect. We'll eventually see what happens on Black River Road in Rome, NY once Rite Aid transitions to Walgreens there.
