Construction continues at the site of a former Rite Aid in Belfair on Monday. Grocery Outlet will be opening at the location, according to permits filed with Mason County.
Grocery Outlet will open a Belfair location in the former Rite Aid, 23960 NE state Route 3, according to permits filed with Mason County.
Rite Aid closed in January 2024 and the 17,455-square-foot building has since been vacant.
On Feb. 13, a change in tenant permit was submitted to the county describing the project as "new Grocery Outlet, previously Rite Aid."
This will be the third grocery chain in Belfair, along with Safeway and QFC.
No opening date has been announced.
A demolition permit filed Jan. 6 listed the project description as "demo interior of old Rite Aid for new Grocery Outlet," according to county records.
A technical review is complete for the demolition and a connection needs verification from the county Board of Health or utilities and a final inspection, according to the permit.
The demolition permit expires July 5.
A review is in process for the change in tenant permit and 11 required inspections are needed before the expiration date of Aug. 12.
