Prior Albertson's - Rite Aid relationship. Apparently, Albertson's was an EnvisionRX client before. Now adds a little more sense as to why Albertson's was interested in Rite Aid in addition to the retail pharmacy side. Also the 10-year deal that Rite-Aid got on drug purchases via Walgreens can now extend to the Albertson's drug stores that will get rebranded as Rite-Aid.

Let's hope that the RAD shareholders hold out for a better price: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4150445-vote-rite-aid-albertsons-merger
