Bankrupt U.S. pharmacy chain Rite Aid on Thursday said it agreed to sell pharmacy assets from more than 1,000 store locations in separate transactions to CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, Albertsons, Kroger and Giant Eagle,

Rite Aid plans to sell the majority of its pharmacies to rival drugstore chains. CVS Health is one of the largest buyers, snapping up prescription files from hundreds of stores and fully acquiring 64 brick-and-mortar locations.

What isn't clear is whether the Bartell name that has been such a presence in the Seattle area will survive, with several experts warning that the ubiquitous brand could disappear.
