Rite Aid has announced that it is closing 17 more stores, including six locations in Pennsylvania.

The stores are in Monroe, Chester, Delaware, Philadelphia, Dauphin and Centre counties. The company announced the closings in a bankruptcy filing earlier this month.

Here are the locations that are closing:

Monroe County: 4551 Milford Road, Middle Smithfield Township, near East Stroudsburg
Chester County: 3807 Lincoln Highway, Caln Township, near Downingtown
Delaware County: 510 E. Baltimore Pike, Media
Philadelphia: 6744-46 N. Fifth St.
Centre County: 1536 N. Atherton St., Ferguson Township, near State College
Dauphin County: 124 S. Front St., Steelton

Rite Aid, which was based in East Pennsboro Township near Camp Hill for decades and is now based in Philadelphia, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October to begin restructuring to significantly reduce its debt.

Since October, the company has announced in bankruptcy filings the closings of more than 400 stores.
