Background
As part of the GURI strategy to expand its marketing, sales and distribution infrastructure to the pharmacy, drug store and health food shop trade, GURI acquired a controlling interest in Pharma-Kol, a wholesaler servicing the pharmacy, drug store and health food. The resulting PHARMA-GURI Company, established 1978, has the capability of handling the import, marketing, sales promotion, telemarketing, advertising, merchandising and direct distribution of a full product line to all of the pharmacy chain stores, neighborhood drug stores and health food shops.
The growth of the pharmacy and drug store outlets has been dramatic. The number of points of sale has increased from 450 in the late 1980’s to over 800 today. The numbers Includes 130 Health Food Shops. PHARMA-GURI will be able to expand its infrastructure to meet the new challenges of the growing consumer market and further develop its product line and distribution capabilities to the pharmacy, drug store and health food sector.
