Forget professional services -
how about these US innovations
to add value for pharmacy clients.
The giant Walgreens chain
has introduced a range of
enhancements at some stores,
including Eyebrow Bars to sculpt
unruly facial hair and even inpharmacy
baristas, to serve a
tasty latte for customers as they
wait for scripts.
One of the trendiest is located
in Hollywood (where else?) and
launched late last year complete
with a juice bar, barista, a
selection of more than 700 wines
and even a sushi chef.
Rival group Rite Aid has
introduced in-pharmacy video
consultations with doctors, as well
as some shops in a “wellness”
format which offers organic soups,
juices and pastas along with home
fitness equipment such as yoga
mats and dumbbells.
According to Associated Press
the latest Walgreens innovation
is humidors in some outlets,
featuring an array of cigars.
