Remain Independent —
With the Power of a Buying Chain

As an independent pharmacy owner, we know that competing with big chains can be tough, but you’re not alone. Our team at EPIC Pharmacies is here to help. We are a member-owned cooperative dedicated to supporting independent pharmacies, and our goal is to help you manage drug costs and access to ancillary services that can boost your bottom line.

EPIC Pharmacies is one of the largest national pharmacy buying groups. What sets us apart from the competition is that our CEO and board of directors are pharmacists and owners, just like you! With our combined negotiating power, we work in your best interest when it comes to the cost of goods, rebates, and more. At EPIC Pharmacies, we advocate for your success.
