Ingles Markets Pharmacy

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ingles is a smaller company with 200-250 Stores with just over 100 have a Pharmacy. Due to size they are still young to the pharmacy market which makes them more like an independent Pharmacy. Huge advantage is that people can drop off and shop better than other Grocery chains because they have such a large inventory with a wide variety, and are always adding more.

Cons

Along with other chains, and due to diminishing reimbursements from the insurance companies, they have begun to cut tech hours to the bone forcing the Pharmacist to be like a one man band.
