January 2019 Rx revenues reached $100,000.00.  The store filled 17,000++ Rxs in 2018, including some local senior home scripts and hospital Rxs.

This is an opportunity for a young pharmacist, a first-time buyer, to purchase a relatively new store in a well-established, rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn neighborhood.  This store has ample opportunity to grow, explore new niches and specialty opportunities, under new and motivated hands-on management. Current owners, an out of town investment group, are currently focused on other projects (they bought the store from the original owner in 2017) and have decided to sell and move on. This is an excellent area and an excellent location. The cost of entry is the same or less than that of opening a new store and the business is already generating $1MM in sales. If you were perhaps contemplating a start-up of some kind, this is a far better opportunity.
