The Rite Aid Collaboration Center is designed to bring the company’s associates together for in-person meetings and collaboration.
Rite Aid has decided to make the City of Brotherly Love its new corporate home. The retailer unveiled its headquarters in Philadelphia’s Navy Yard district on July 13. The new Rite Aid Collaboration Center, located on the second floor of 1200 Intrepid Avenue, will bring Rite Aid’s remote corporate workforce and associates together in a modern space with state-of-the-art amenities.
The company touts that its new headquarters, with its accessibility to major transportation, offers teams across Rite Aid’s various businesses – including Rite Aid retail pharmacy, Elixir, Health Dialog and Bartell Drugs – space to meet, collaborate, engage clients and partners, and cultivate the kind of strong professional relationships necessary for successful remote teams, which have increased across all of corporate America as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 23,000-square-foot collaboration center, designed by Wynnewood, Pa.-based Meyer Design, features a variety of conference room styles equipped with digital Neat Boards for video conferencing, a digital/video studio, a Genius Bar to support IT needs, and associate amenities, including a catering kitchen, multiple food and beverage stations, a business center and a respite room for nursing, prayer and meditation. Rite Aid has entered into a long-term lease with Ensemble Real Estate Solutions for the space, which can accommodate up to 300 Rite Aid associates.
