A standalone Giant Eagle pharmacy is set to move into Pittsburgh's Mount Washington neighborhood. 

Giant Eagle in May announced that it is acquiring customer prescriptions from more than 70 Rite Aid locations, which are closing after the drugstore chain filed for bankruptcy again. 

The new location, which will open on Thursday, October 30, will be at the former Mt. Washington Rite Aid on Grace Street. 

There will be a ceremonial ribbon cutting at 10 a.m., and there will also be an appearance by the Pirate Parrot. 

"We are thrilled to be opening this standalone Giant Eagle Pharmacy to meet the health, wellness, and fresh foods needs of the Mt. Washington community," said Bill Artman, Giant Eagle President and CEO. "We understood that the closure of the Mt. Washington Rite Aid created a need for access to convenient care in Mt. Washington, and we are happy to show up for the community to close that gap."

Now, in some cases, Giant Eagle is taking over entire Rite Aid stores, turning them into standalone Giant Eagle pharmacies. The plans for the Mount Washington transformation come after Giant Eagle took over Rite Aid stores in Holidaysburg and Cambridge, Ohio. It is also set to take over the former Rite Aid in Sewickley. 

"At one time, Mount Washington had six pharmacies," resident Chuck Wise said. "We're down to one, so we definitely need this one."

In a statement to KDKA-TV, Giant Eagle said it is "committed to showing up for our communities to provide access to essential healthcare and pharmacy services."

"We are in the process of exploring additional former Rite Aid locations throughout the region," the statement added.
