Here is a list of FAQs about the Rite-Aid closure & Eagle Pharmacy option in Farwell.
What is happening to Rite-Aid?
Rite-Aid is currently going through bankruptcy proceedings and as a result, they are closing ALL of their Michigan locations. It is my understanding this will be completed by the end of August in a roll out fashion. Walgreens has purchased the majority of the prescription files which means your Rite-Aid prescriptions will be transferred to a Walgreens Pharmacy upon closing.
What if I do not want to get my prescriptions at Walgreens?
Rite-Aid patients may transfer their prescriptions to a different pharmacy.
How can I transfer my prescriptions to Eagle Pharmacy?
If you wish to have your prescriptions transferred to Eagle Pharmacy, simply call our store at 989-588-2900 and request to have your prescription file transferred. We will call your Rite-Aid store and request the transfer and place your prescription file in our system to be available for when they are due to be filled. (All prescriptions are simply placed on hold unless you are requesting to have it filled) It is HIGHLY recommended to transfer your prescription file to Eagle Pharmacy BEFORE it is transferred to Walgreens. If you wait until AFTER your file is transferred to Walgreens, we can still call the Walgreens store to transfer your file to Eagle, but there may be a delay in getting the file.
Why should I transfer my file BEFORE the Rite-Aid store closes?
Based on our experience from current Rite-Aid closures, there has been difficulty in obtaining the prescription files in a timely manner from the transferring pharmacy AFTER the closure. We have increased OUR staffing to accommodate the increased volume and we are diligent in requesting patient files, but we are unable to fill a prescription until the transferring pharmacy transfers your prescription to us.
Does Eagle Pharmacy take my insurance?
Eagle Pharmacy takes most insurance plans, including all Michigan Medicaid plans and Medicare Prescription Plans and Advantage Plans.
Why should I choose Eagle Pharmacy?
Eagle Pharmacy is a locally owned, independent pharmacy centered on your health and wellbeing. You will find our staff to be friendly, helpful and looking out for your best interest. Eagle Pharmacy offers a drive thru window service, a pharmacy phone app, text notification and a med sync program. We also offer compounded prescriptions mailed directly to your door. Also, our new health insurance agency can make sure you are on the best health plan to suit your needs.
Your insurance deductibles, copays and drug formulary may change. These are set by your insurance company. If you have any questions about your copays when checking out, please say something BEFORE we cash you out so we can check on any issues with your insurance. We will help you work with the doctor to find a covered medication whenever possible.
For the health and safety of our staff and patients, we ask that if you are covid positive, symptomatic or feel that you may have been exposed, that you do not enter the store. Please send a well person to use the drive thru or call the store to arrange a no-contact pick up.
Open for all hours that the store is open.

This is the best pharmacy I have ever had! Super friendly staff. They get things done super fast. And if a problem they contact the dr. Direct. Only thing I wish the reorder system was a bit better. I usually have 6 to 8 refills every week and just leaving a message I often feel like one could be easily missed. But great great place!

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
