With the pharmacy, I bought it in 1995.
In 2004, our grocery store in town went out of business.
So we remodeled, put in a full line grocery store because I was afraid if we didn't have a grocery store here in the county that the pharmacy wouldn't be able to exist either.
So
Here we are today.
80% of my prescriptions are through one of the three PBMs, pharmacy benefit managers.
They tell us how much they will pay us.
They just have so much control, which has taken all of the control out of my hands.
So there's what's called a dispensing fee.
To come up with that fee per prescription, you add in your pharmacist time, your technician time, the electricity, the label, the bottle, all the overhead that a regular business has.
Well, when 80 to 85% of the prescriptions are underneath that minimum that we need to break even, it doesn't pencil out.
There are some scripts that I will fill that,
I get 12 cents over what it costs me to buy that.
That doesn't even pay for my label, my lid, and the bottle.
The last 10, 15 years, it's been very, very difficult.
Mail order has pulled away a lot of my business from the pharmacy.
So we do some floral.
We do gift wrapping.
We have a soda fountain.
I just don't know how more diversified I can get.
