Ensuring a Successful Transaction
to Meet your Goals!

History
The last two decades of the 20th Century were a difficult time for independent community pharmacists. An incredible, once in a lifetime combination of aggressive new competitors, expansion of managed care and third party prescription plans, coupled with the rapid growth of the chains led to a

major decline in margins, both gross and net, and to the number of independents in the country. During that period, there was nearly a 50% reduction in the number of independents, from more than 40,000 in 1980 to about 20,000 in the year 2000. Sadly, many of these stores were simply closed up or sold to chains for a few dollars more than the net value of the inventory.

Entrepreneurs are Buying
At this moment in time, the "survival of the fittest" theory has taken hold in the world of independent pharmacy. For the first time in more than twenty years, independent stores are changing hands for reasonable prices, and being sold to new entries to the independent market, young pharmacists, men and women who find professional satisfaction and financial success in owning and operating their own businesses. It is no longer necessary for those with entrepreneurial spirit and the willingness to work hard and take risk to just be employee pharmacists in a large chain pharmacy.

Selling for Reasonable Prices
That said, it is also no longer necessary for those pharmacists who wish to sell their businesses to just turn them over to a large chain for a token payment in excess of the value of their inventory. While margins have clearly shrunk, recent reports show that the "average" independent does more than $3 million in sales volume, and that number is no doubt higher in densely populated metro areas.
