New York (Reuters) -A series of drugs that turned the Walgreens series and the reality star, which turned into the entrepreneur Kourtney Kardashian among those who choose the remaining assets in the bankruptcy of Rite Aid, according to two people familiar with this issue.

In addition to Walgreens, the original brand management companies, the WhP Global and Marquee Brands evaluate the intellectual property of Rite Aid and perhaps their loyalty program, according to the people who asked not to call it because the process is private.

All three brand management companies have bought the IP address from other bankruptcy retailers.

The original brands, which have Rebok and the Saks Fifth Avenue, bought an IP address for the Forever Fashion Fashion Series 21 and the BARNEYS luxury for bankruptcy. WhP Global Toys “R” Us was revived after her bankruptcy for 2017, while Marquee acquired BCBG Max Azria Group from bankruptcy.

The people said that Kardashian, the co -founder of the Vitamin Limi Vitamin Factory and the owner of the website Web Web Bush, expressed interest in the brand of the ice cream in Rite Aid.

Rite Aid, which runs about 1,200 stores and has about 8 million customers, offers bankruptcy in May for the second time in two years.

US bankruptcy judge Michael Kaplan has already agreed to close stores and sell customer recipes to 13 buyers including CVS Health and Walgrens.

Brand Management Companies such as authentic, Marquee, and WhP usually purchase an IP address for the brand and then license for employment partners who have manufacturing, design and sales responsibilities.

The Ice Ice Ice Thifty brand is sold by SCOOP in meters in some Aid Rite or by Carton in Rite Aid and other retailers at the country level. People said Thrifty was launched in 1940 at a small factory in West Hollywood and is calculated by many celebrities as customers, including Kardashian, who can buy the brand by itself or with a partner.

The sources said that some of the consumer’s private stock companies are also looking to installation.

Rite Aid, Walgrens, original brands and WhP rejected the comment. The brands and representatives of Kardashian did not respond to the suspension requests.

The deadline for the current giving of the remaining assets is June 18 at 5 pm Each time (2100 GMT).

The Pennsylvania -based Rite Aid struggled under high debts, inflationary pressures and increased competition.
