FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Waukesha, Wisconsin, November 9, 2026 – HRG is introducing 360° Front-End Advantage, an assortment of services to help independent pharmacies optimize profitability in their front of store.
The suite of services was developed from HRG’s 360° Store Assessment program which offered a comprehensive review of the pharmacy, from the exterior and interior, to a study of demographics, area competition, product assortment, store layout, and more. Angela Nicloy, director of marketing, said, “It was time to deconstruct the 360° Store Assessment into individual services, giving pharmacies a menu of options so they can choose the ones most beneficial for their store and add on as more time and resources become available.”
Independent pharmacies who aren’t already on HRG’s IN.store Category Management Tools program through their wholesaler can choose to have access to the IN.store portal for a period of a quarter at a time, or annual access to HRG’s monthly New Item Alert. Other services include:
· Space-to-sales Analysis – basic or advanced
· POS Data Analysis
· Demographic Research
· Micro Front-end or Drive-through Only Planograms
· Merchandising 101 Playbook
· Marketing Consultation
HRG has been serving independent pharmacies for over 45 years, with a focus on improving the profitability of the pharmacy front-end. More than ever, it’s important that independents put dedicated attention toward making their front-of-store a chosen destination for health, beauty, and wellness solutions to make up for the dwindling profits from prescriptions.
