Independent pharmacy is stronger than ever! Here are some of the advantages they possess and reasons why you should begin buying from your community pharmacy today.

Healthy Communities

Shopping at your local independent pharmacy results in money going back to your community.

Taking your business to your community pharmacy will not only help the pharmacy itself, but the community which that pharmacy is in – this is especially true for rural towns and smaller cities.

According to the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), in 2016, independent pharmacies in Kansas employed over 2,300 employees and generated more than $800 million in sales. Between wages, sales, and taxes that is a lot of money going back to the communities of Kansas.

In addition, 70% of independent owners provide financial support to at least five of their local community organizations.

Customer Satisfaction

Taking your business to an independent pharmacy is likely to leave you with a very satisfying customer experience. Independent pharmacies can offer you more individualized attention and you’ll find shorter wait times for your prescriptions due to their efficiency and dedication to keeping you as a loyal customer.

Independent pharmacies take great pride in their customer service and that’s going to help build a trusting relationship between you and your pharmacist. In fact, you’ll often see the pharmacy owner as one of the pharmacists on staff.

If you want to take your business to a place where you can support your local community, while also feeling valued as a customer, then independent pharmacy is for you.
