Phase-1 Evaluation

Through our experience, PRS has determined the factors that will strongly influence the likelihood that a pharmacy department will be successful within a supermarket. The factors, such as traffic count, existing pharmacy competition, and location of the store, along with others, are weighted according to their impact on the success of the pharmacy.

A score is determined by taking the answers given to the questions on the following Phase-1 Pharmacy Evaluation Questionnaire and running them through the PRS Scoring Matrix, which took PRS ten years to develop. The Scoring Matrix compares the answers to the OPTIMUM VALUES PRS has established. In other words, the location is given a “score” that can be looked at similar to a school’s grading scale. (>100=A+, 99-90=A, 89-80=B, 79-70=C, 69-60=D, 59<=F), meaning the higher the score, the more likely pharmacy will be successful.

A PHASE-1 PHARMACY EVALUATION REPORT is issued to you, which provides a conclusion of PRS’s findings, along with the details behind each of the factors, and how the location faired compared to the OPTIMUM VALUES. A 2-year financial Performa is also provided.

You can complete the Phase-1 Pharmacy Evaluation Questionnaire on-line now, or call for more information to see if pharmacy is right for you.
