Are Pharmacists Bad at Running Pharmacies?

When should you even consult a banner when opening a pharmacy? And should you take upfront cash to open a pharmacy? We explore whether pharmacists are bad at business, how pharmacies actually make money, and how opening a pharmacy looks from the perspective of a pharmacy banner.

In the first hybrid interview (both in-person and online) conducted by Off the Script, we talk with Neven Kulas from Whole Health Pharmacy Partners where he gives us the rundown on how to keep a pharmacy happy and healthy. Some topics include:

• Are pharmacists bad business owners

• Background on how pharmacies make money (more than just dispensing drugs!)

• How do banner groups within pharmacy make money?

• How do you start opening a pharmacy?

• When do you talk to a banner to consult about opening a pharmacy?

• How much difference can an individual person (pharmacist) have on the success of a new pharmacy?

• Should you take upfront cash from a banner to start a pharmacy?
