Community Pharmacy Assignment

 

A - Selection of the Place :

Deciding where to locate is one of the first major choices you'll make while building your pharmacy business.

The location you choose for your pharmacy will greatly contribute to its success or demise. For many, unfortunately, the best counter is counterintuitive.

A compelling argument can be made for 2 things to look for when choosing a pharmacy location. Neither has any relationship to the other, but both must be considered. They are:

1 - Adjacent to an upscale residential area

2 - Next to a chain store pharmacy

If both of these characteristics are not simultaneously available, then always go with the first: being in or near an upscale neighborhood. An alternate approach is to be on or close to a highway that connects high-income families to your store.

Your grandpa's pharmacy business model is outdated, and the model that succeeds today requires a different location. Today, being in a strip mall, shopping center, or free-standing building is good, but being next to a chain store .

If you choose to place the pharmacy next to a hospital or between shops and commercial markets and in an area that cares about skin care, body and hair and accept the measurement of weight, pressure, sugar and other things that are accepted by people with a level of awareness of course will be the level of profit is high compared to the size of sales in the middle income .
