          Item 1.   Security and Issuer.

                    This amendment relates to the Statement on
          Schedule 13D filed by Kmart Corporation, a Michigan
          corporation ("Kmart"), with respect to its ownership of
          6,904,764 shares of common stock of Rite Aid Corporation,
          a Delaware corporation ("Rite Aid"), par value $1.00 per
          share (the "Rite Aid Common Stock"). 

          Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

               Item 5 is hereby amended as follows:

                    In a letter to Rite Aid dated December 16, 1996,
          Kmart requested, in accordance with the Stockholder
          Agreement previously entered into by Kmart and Rite Aid,
          that Rite Aid register all 6,904,764 shares of Rite Aid
          Common Stock owned by Kmart.  Pursuant to such request,
          Rite Aid filed with the SEC a prospectus on January 15,
          1997 and a prospectus supplement on January 16, 1997,
          registering such Rite Aid Common Stock.

                    On January 16, 1997, Kmart, Rite Aid and Morgan
          Stanley & Co., Incorporated ("Morgan Stanley") entered
          into an underwriting agreement, pursuant to which Kmart
          agreed to sell all 6,904,764 shares of Rite Aid Common
          Stock owned by it to Morgan Stanley at a price of $ 37.555
          per share, resulting in aggregate net proceeds before
          expenses to Kmart of $259,308,412.  Such sale was
          consummated on January 22, 1997.  

                    As a result of such sale, Kmart no longer owns
          any shares of Rite Aid Common Stock and therefore will
          have no further Schedule 13D reporting obligations with
          respect to the Rite Aid Common Stock.


                                   SIGNATURE

                    After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my
          knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set
          forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.

          Dated:  January 23, 1997

                                        KMART CORPORATION
