I have received excellent support from the network of professionals at Drug Trading. Drug Trading has helped us grow our business in an extremely competitive market. The critical analysis of Drug Trading representatives allows me to see the business from a different perspective. It ensures that my vision of the store is successfully translated to the customer while improving financial return. The Managed Healthcare Team has provided educational materials on local issues such as Rabies and West Nile Virus so that I could take the lead in providing the community with vital information.

The Guardian brand is synonymous with caring and professionalism. By taking advantage of the marketing, Enterprise, and Home Health Care programs, I have leveraged the Guardian brand to create a unique service-oriented pharmacy that has continued to grow despite new competition in the market.

Independent pharmacy gives me the freedom and ability to provide a professional image and service to the community. Banner ownership like Guardian assists me with the knowledge and skill that are needed to operate my business successfully. Wallace’s Drug Store has been a member since the beginning, for over 100 years. I’ve personally been a supporter for 25 years and my son Eugene and his wife who are both pharmacists are also supporters and future members of Drug Trading.

Dell Pharmacy is proud to be a member of the I.D.A. banner program. It provides us with the best of both worlds – the autonomy and uniqueness of independence with the support and networking of a corporate partner. Our 15 stores have benefitted from a variety of available Drug Trading programs, saving us time and resources.

Most importantly, our ethics in providing customer service excellence is not only in alignment with the Banner Program but is supported by a network of like-minded partners across the country. Our friendly and caring team of dedicated staff and pharmacists is ultimately our advantage over the “big box” corporations.

Drug Trading provides the necessary tools to start and operate the pharmacy and the respected Guardian banner name is one that my patients trust. Drug Trading provides an incredible support service which takes the headache out of designing advertising and organizing professional services and marketing, and allows me to concentrate on pharmacy care and managing the business. These days it is essential to have these services and the people who provide these at Drug Trading are very professional and reliable. I have developed a great relationship with all the key people and the advice I get has enabled my business to flourish. I would definitely recommend Drug Trading’s Guardian banner program to any pharmacist with aspirations of owning a pharmacy business.
