More than 200 people will lose their jobs after a major retail chain closed a warehouse located in central New York for more than 50 years.

It is the latest in a series of companies moving their business operations out of New York.

More recently, Nordstrom pulled the plug on its store at Destiny USAwhich was one of their last stores upstate.

The luxury retailer later announced that it was closing its Albany store, meaning its remaining 6 locations would be in the New York area.

This came just weeks after a major logistics company announced it was closing its warehouse in Central New York and laying off all of its employees.

Rite Aid Moving Warehouse in New York

Rite Aid Corporation filed a WARNING notice stating that it is closing its distribution center in Onondaga County.

The center, located on Henry Clay Blvd. in Liverpool, currently employs 260 people. The company chooses to keep only around thirty employees.

The factory, which opened in 1973, will begin winding down operations on February 22 and will permanently close its doors on July 31. By then, 233 employees will be looking for new jobs.

The company said affected employees, who are not represented by a union. will receive severance pay, COBRA benefits and “outplacement support.”

As for where the warehouse will go, Rite Aid has confirmed plans to combine it with its distribution center in Perryman, Maryland. The goal is to unify the two by April next year.

Rite Aid has had a tough few years due to its bankruptcy. The chain recently closed more than 800 stores nationwide, including 60 in New York.

The major pharmacy chain has been devastated by lawsuits related to the opioid crisis.

Rite Aid then announced chose Matt Schroeder as new CEO to help it through restructuring and bankruptcy, which the chain was be able to go out in September after obtaining new funding.

Despite the good news, it appears Rite Aid continues to make decisions to protect its financial future — and that future no longer includes Central New York.
