On April 28, 2015 the first hurdle of the permit process was made for the construction of a 17,400 square foot Rite Aid store. The store, along with the parking lot would encompass the entire of north side of 1600 block of Main Street. Of course, this site was the former home of Potter’s Maternity Home on the corner of Main and Park. In 1966, United California Bank took over this location and constructed their bank, which held an open house of February 27, 1967. It has housed a number of financial institutions since then. Of course, on the corner of Main and Ash was Baxter’s Flying “A” Service Station.  After it closed, for a brief time in 1978 it housed Jim Pardee’s campaign headquarters for Lassen County Superior Court Judge, and then was subsequently torn down and now a part of the Rite Aid parking lot.

The Rite Aid  was short-lived and and closed it doors not quite ten years of operation.
