I'm interested, but one of the setbacks would be that it would be a lot of work even after the pharmacy is closed, like taking work home, paperwork, reviewing insurance reimbursements, inventory, etc.
Fears
#1 - Reimbursement is complete **** right now. Will have to do a lot of OTC, salon products, etc.
#2 - My friend who is currently an entrepreneur in the restaurant business, and used car sales business wants to work with me and provide all the capital for opening up the pharmacy. The fear is that it will strain the friendship and the other fear is that since he's providing the capital, he'd only care about the bottomline and Rx volume since he's not a pharmacist, he wouldn't wanna do other things I'd be interested in such as running an immunization clinic, diabetes/HTN monitoring, ambulatory care, MTM, compounding etc.
The pharmacy would be in an urban area of NYC with a lot of foot traffic and stores with small lot sizes, where chains would not be able to open up a store. Now, since we'd have a small lot for the pharmacy, would there be enough room inside the pharmacy for a private counseling room, OTC aisles, or setting up an ambulatory care clinic?
