CAMP HILL, Pa. — Rite Aid Corp. is rebuilding its Baltimore drug store that was damaged in April during civil unrest following the death of an African-American resident from injuries sustained during his arrest by police.

The Rite Aid store at 300 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. was one of eight Rite Aid outlets in the city that were closed after being looted. The other seven reopened early last month.

Rite Aid said it was dispensing prescription drugs and offering an assortment of over-the-counter medicines, snacks and beverages out of a temporary trailer at the construction site. Construction is expected to be completed by late summer, Rite Aid said.

“Rite Aid has long been a part of the Baltimore community, and we know how much our customers rely on us for their health and wellness needs as well as everyday needs,” said Rite Aid executive vice president of operations Bob ­Thompson.

Rite Aid noted that it has served the Baltimore area for 35 years.
