I'm Pharmacy Stan. I spent 23 years behind the counter — from technician to VP overseeing 40+ stores — watching independent pharmacy get picked apart by PBMs, private equity, and the chains that answer to both. I'm done watching. I'm building the alternative.
"Stan helped us go from losing $30K a month to profiting $20K. We were about to close our doors — now we're thriving."
Independent pharmacy owners deserve someone in their corner who actually knows what it is like to stand behind the counter. Not a vendor trying to upsell. Not a consultant reading from a playbook. Someone who has been there — at every level — and built the tools to help you fight back.
Book one free hour. Bring your real problem. I will tell you honestly what I think — and if the answer is TheRxOS or my consulting services, I will say so. If it is not, I will tell you that too and point you somewhere that can actually help.
One free strategy session for independent pharmacy owners. Your NPI. Your agenda. Stan's undivided attention.
20,000 independent pharmacies. Conservative $500,000 in uncaptured annual revenue per location. That money belongs to the pharmacies — and to the communities they serve. It is being left on the table because the tools independent pharmacy depends on are built by the same forces extracting value from those pharmacies every single day.
I am building the infrastructure that changes that. Software that finds the money. A platform that replaces the PE-owned tools they are stuck with. And a community of pharmacy owners who know they have someone fighting in their corner.
No private equity. No PBM money. Built for independent pharmacy. Answerable to no one else.
From the counter to VP overseeing 40+ stores. From watching independent pharmacies fight to survive to building the technology that gives them a fighting chance. 23 years of pharmacy taught me one thing above everything else — independent pharmacy owners are working harder than anyone in healthcare and getting paid less than they should for it.
Pharmacy Stan is not a consulting brand. It is a mission. The independent pharmacy community deserves a voice that does not answer to a cap table. That is what this is — and it will be, regardless of whatever else gets built alongside it.
Consulting is still available for pharmacy owners who want ongoing strategic support beyond the free hotline hour. These are the areas where 23 years of operational experience produces the fastest results.
