REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Rite Aid Corporation
Camp Hill, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rite Aid Corporation and
subsidiaries (the ‘‘Company’’) as of February 26, 2011 and February 27, 2010, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended February 26, 2011. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Rite Aid Corporation and subsidiaries as of February 26, 2011 and February 27,
2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended February 26, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects,
the information set forth therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
February 26, 2011, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated
April 26, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
