Rite Aid #4587 - Double Décor!

This is one of two Schenectady Rite Aid locations that didn't flat-out close, rather get converted to Walgreens. This is the one that is still operating as a Rite Aid for now - store #4587, located at 1936 Van Vranken Ave. in Schenectady, NY.

Lowercase logo suggests a mid-1990s build.

So I can park here? I wonder if Walgreens will have signs like this...

Oh wonderful, RA1 décor! Hold on a minute, what's that above your head? Customer World signage?

Again, cover-ups galore!  Only this isn't hard décor like #2749 in Hancock, so that RA1 pharmacy sign in the distance should have been taken down. And we'll get back to those aisle markers in a moment...

The famed Aisle 12 every retail enthusiast idolizes. Its Customer World décor takes the form of the Rite Aid shield.

How about some partially obstructed RA1 Cosmetics signage? Unlike #3460 in Frankfort, I don't suppose there is any additional product signage.

Yet another chrome-framed Rehrig Mini to go along with the relic stores not very well. Something on it is causing the sensors to go off when the cart is near them, even though nothing was stolen and this cart has a vertical pole to keep it in the store, unlike all the other carts, which are modern, metal, and tasteless.

The greeting cards section has some nice low-hanging lighting to emphasize the product.

"Photo Center." Is this section even relevant anymore?

"For your life, Rite Aid's got it." Not for long.

Thanks for shopping with us. Nichts bleibt für Rite Aid. Für immer.

Es ist aus für Rite Aid. Auf wiedersehen!
