Hi there
I think the main challenges of the retail pharmacies are
1- High overhead /running costs
2- Low mark-ups especially in highly regulated provinces.
3- High prices of medications especially when the insurance coverage is not existing or very low.

Lack off personal touch and respect. Everyone wants things for the lowest price possible. We have cultivated a society the only thinks of the bottom line and has no desire to develope relationships
