Not all pharmacies are created equal. Since its inception, most drugstores were owned and operated by pharmacists. They consisted of small local stores providing very specialized services, mostly customized or compounded medicines. With the corporatization of pharmacies, the little stores became warehouses selling all kinds of goods while the pharmacy section got delegated to a small corner inside the giant retail space. Competition among pharmacy chains and other retailers, led most pharmacies to became “jack of all trades” making them indistinguishable from one to another. Few others, however, saw an opportunity and became small and very specialized carving a space where the big chains could not fill. For example, they started offering professional pharmacy services such as compounding ( the art of creating customized medicine), diabetes care and products, and providing a more intimate customer service that was clearly lacking in the big box stores.
