Metro Pharmacy LLC is seeking government grants to support the construction, inventory, and necessary equipment for their business. Their plan includes not only the traditional dispensing of prescription medications but also the addition of medication therapy management and medical supplies. They emphasize a commitment to community outreach and plan to adapt services based on the evolving needs of the local population. Marketing strategies will focus on clinics, nursing homes, hospitals, and online platforms.
The founder highlights their journey as a first-generation university graduate who immigrated to the U.S. as a child to escape civil war. They have faced numerous challenges as a female minority but have remained resilient, fueled by a passion for enhancing wellness, especially among minority communities.
Metro Pharmacy's main competitors are large chain pharmacies like Walgreens, CVS, and Cub Pharmacy.
