Everett will succeed Bob Thompson, who is retiring from the company in January.

“Bryan is an energetic and talented leader with a proven track record of operational expertise and success,” Martindale said.

Everett has 20 years of experience in store operations, much of it at Target Corp., a company he joined in 2002 and where he most recently served as senior vice president of store operations. In that position he focused on talent management, operational efficiency and integrated technology solutions. He also led new format, new store and remodeling programs while also overseeing pharmacy and clinic operations.

Before joining Target, Everett held store operations management positions at Fleming Wholesale and Aldi.

Thompson will continue reporting to Martindale until his retirement, working on specified service initiatives designed to continue to improve the overall customer experience in Rite Aid stores as well as assisting in the leadership transition.

“I would also like to acknowledge the many valuable contributions Bob Thompson has made to Rite Aid since joining our company over seven years ago,” Martindale said. “He has been a key member of our management team that, along with our nearly 90,000 associates, has executed a successful turnaround and positioned Rite Aid for long-term growth. We appreciate his leadership and commitment to Rite Aid during this important time.”
