After the Maine State Legislature repealed the 'Blue Laws' prohibiting stores greater than 5,000 square feet in size to be open for business on Sunday, Hannaford made the decision to convert its smaller Shop 'N Save grocery stores to Super Shop 'N Saves, which would include floor space for a pharmacy. Because the Shop 'N Saves were in the same communities as Hannaford's Wellby stores, it was decided that they would sell the pharmacy chain. In 1992, Wellby Super Drug was sold to Rite-Aid, who continues to operate in many of the former Wellby locations to this day.
