The following information is from the pharmacy manager at Woodstown Acme

Hello everyone, I'm Ciara, Pharmacy Manager at Acme in Woodstown. 💊

Due to the high volume of inquiries we've been receiving, I'd like to provide some helpful information.

Acme will be acquiring all patient files from Rite Aid Pharmacy, which will be closing its operations. Rite Aid's last day of business will be June 11th, and all files will be transferred to us automatically that evening after close. We (Acme Pharmacy) will have access to all files by June 12th.

If you need any prescriptions filled between now and June 12th, please notify us so we can request the transfer of specific medications. Otherwise, no action is required!

We're also implementing additional measures to accommodate the increased patient volume, including adding registers and making arrangements in the pharmacy. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we are all adjusting! ☺️

If you have any specific questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us! 856-769-8655.

Good Afternoon Salem County. For those of you who don't know. Rite Aid is closing all of their stores which includes the one in Pilesgrove as long as Penns Grove. When we were at the store in Pilesgrove the other day they said the last day of the pharmacy is June 11th and the last day of the store is the 18th. I would assume that the Penns Grove store would have a similar closure date. It was also said that Acme's Sav-On Pharmacy in the same plaza has bought the scripts so they will be able to fill them at that location instead.

**Press release from the Chief**

To the residents of Pennsville Township,

Earlier this evening, our station experienced damage due to a small electrical fire originating in the rear utilities room. Crews successfully contained the fire after securing power to the building with the assistance of Atlantic City Electric, limiting the damage to that specific room. The exact cause of the fire remains unknown at this time and is currently under investigation by the Pennsville Township Fire Marshal's Office and the NJ State Division of Fire Safety.

Fortunately, our trucks were not in the station due to a project to resurface our apparatus bay floors and were instead safely relocated to Pennsville Township OEM lot. Our members responded with their gear to town hall to staff the apparatus and there was no significant loss of equipment or turnout gear. We would like to reassure our residents that we remain fully operational and capable as a department during this time. We will be continuing responding from the township OEM lot behind town hall until the damage is repaired and the floor resurfacing project concludes.

We would like to extend our gratitude to Pennsville Fire & Rescue Company No. 1, along with our other mutual aid partners from Carneys Point Fire Dept. & Rescue Squad Inc., Pennsgrove Liberty Fire Company No.1, Reliance Fire Company, Salem Fire Department, Good Will Fire Company, Station 33 Air Narional Guard Fire Department, Wilmington Manor Fire Company and Holloway Terrace Fire Company for their rapid response and assistance.

For any questions or comments, please contact the Pennsville Township Fire Marshal's Office.

Best regards,
Chief Cody Sooy
