HARRISBURG, Pa. — Nearly 100 suppliers and Rite Aid executives gathered here last week, at the Harrisburg Hilton, for an exclusive reception to celebrate the Dec. 10 issue of DSN, which featured a special 40-page report on Rite Aid. In addition to a special donation on behalf of DSN in support of the Rite Aid Foundation, DSN publisher Wayne Bennett also unveiled a special commemorative T-shirt for Rite Aid associates bearing the signature "Rite Aid Gets Well" art from the cover of the Dec. 10 issue.

"I want to thank our guests of honor, and say that it was an honor to have the kind of exclusive access to the executives who appear in our Dec. 10 issue," DSN editor Rob Eder noted to the crowd gathered at the Dec. 12 event. "It was a learning experience for our team, and we hope our experience can help educate and enlighten the industry and thousands of important influencers beyond our industry about the important work Rite Aid is doing to turn its business around.”
