Rite Aid Asks Customers to Vote For Their Favorite Pharmacy Team Member

Rite Aid is once again bringing back its nationwide annual Vote for Your Favorite Pharmacy Team Member Contest to celebrate American Pharmacist Month. Through the contest, Rite Aid customers have a chance to win $2,500 in Rite Aid gift cards by nominating a favorite member of their Rite Aid pharmacy team. Now in its twelfth year, the contest was designed to recognize Rite Aid pharmacy associates including pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, pharmacy managers, pharmacy cashiers and Wellness Ambassadors, for their commitment to providing excellent customer service.

"American Pharmacist Month is the perfect time to celebrate the year-round efforts of our pharmacy teams as they continue to delivery excellent customer service and help our patients lead healthier lives," said Tammy Royer, Rite Aid senior vice president of pharmacy operations. “We are so proud of our pharmacy team, and this program is a great way for Rite Aid and our patients to honor and recognize those who are making a difference in the communities we serve every day.”

From now through Oct. 31, customers can vote for their favorite pharmacy team member by completing a mail-in nomination form available at any Rite Aid pharmacy or online at www.riteaid.com/vote. Customers who vote will automatically be entered into a random drawing to win $2,500 in Rite Aid gift cards. One nominated pharmacy team member also will win $2,500 in Rite Aid gift cards through a random drawing. For complete details and official rules, go to any Rite Aid store or visit www.riteaid.com/vote.

All nominated Rite Aid pharmacy team members will be recognized by Rite Aid with a Favorite Pharmacy Team Member lapel pin and a letter of commendation from Rite Aid's Chairman and CEO John Standley and Executive Vice President of Pharmacy Jocelyn Konrad.
