The Generic Pharmacy Franchise
« on: Dec 03, 2007, 12:29 AM »
I read the about this franchise on the Inquirer. I plan to get one. What do you think about franchising a pharmacy/drugstore?

The initial investment might reach 500,000 but I am willing to take the leap.

What do you think? Any advise out there?

Dont worry about the location. I have one already except that around two blocks away is Mercury Drug. But, If id be selling purely generic products, I would have a competitive edge. My only fear is the senior citizen law. You have a 5-7% margin but but if the oldies buy at 20% off, where will I be? Naisip ko, sabihin ko na lang, wala na...hehehe...

franchise fee is 110,000 ata. but the capitalization requires 500,000 to cover the rent and other bills.

Should I? Thanks!

Are there existing franchises already? If so, how are they doing? Pharmaceuticals is really a good business, but here in the Phil., much is dependent on the prescriptions of doctors. Does the franchiser have a plan for marketting?

yep, there 37 branches and according to the feature there's 90% success rate...so... not bad...according to the they'd assist you in all marketing issues as they get 1% of the gross sales once you hit the 150,000 sales per month mark.

hindi ba dapat i-re-reimburse ka ng government for this? kasi essentially, this is a state benefit for senior citizens. private business shouldn't be affected. can anyone comment/confirm?

that aside, hmm... mukhang ok din ang generic pharmacy ah. would it be possible to send me details? thanks!

edit: nevermind! found the website on my own. galing talaga ng google!  :D

hi todjikid.  Ive sent over a couple of locations for them to look into.  Seems like a promising venture to get into but you'll really need to know where the medicine is coming from because we are dealing with peoples lives here.

I am interested also in this.  People, please post any info on this business.  I think the drug prices in Philippines is absolutely rediculous.  Do you know that its 3 to 10 times more than neighboring countries like Thailand and Vietnam?
Not acceptable.  Generics would help the poor in Philippines, most definitely.  I saw this I think in Living Asia channel headed by a senator.  The objective is good, and if one can make a profit that is more than 5 year DYM product, why not?!
