Two Pharmacies!

[mghabib]

It is unfortunate that two pharmacies are opening only a few meters apart. One is surely going to drive the other out of business. What was logic behind allowing, approving, and processing this? Where is the critical mass to require two pharmacies while there is already one at Arabian Ranches. Typically you want to encourage businesses to set up while providing diversity and a provision of basic services.

What next? A row of mobile resellers?

One is looking to cater to the Spinney's customers too lazy to walk up about a 100 meters to the other pharmacy and the other is catering to the Medi Center patients too sick to walk up to Spinney's . Not to mention, for a Pharmacy, discouraging people from walking too far is also good for business I would imagine - unhealthy people make for repeat customers .

I think Life pharmacy (the one near Spinneys) is just for nutrition products isn't it?
