Pharmacy giant Rite Aid has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy – leaving an uncertain fate for its 2,100 stores.

It comes after the firm was unable to settle hundreds of lawsuits that accused them of oversupplying prescription painkillers in the midst of the US opioid crisis.

Rite Aid listed estimated assets and liabilities ranging from $1billion to $10billion, according to a court filing with the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey.
