Benzer enters Colorado, Texas through franchise model

BYERS, Colo. and TOMBALL, Texas — Benzer Pharmacy, fresh off opening its first location in California, is continuing to enter new states. The Tampa, Fla.-based chain has opened its first stores in Colorado and Texas through its franchise model. 

 

The Texas location, owned by Jinal Shah, is located in Tomball, and the Colorado location is in Byers, and owned by Harry Patel, Siddarth Patel and Chetna Patel. The Colorado location was formerly known as Chase Pharmacy and is located inside the Byers General Store.

 

“We will assist patients with their medication requirements and answer any questions regarding their prescriptions.” Harry Patel said. “The pharmacy at Colorado has been in operation since 1968 and will continue to deliver to several locations in Bennett, Strasburg, Watkins, and Deer Trail. We plan to open another store in Colorado Springs.” 

 

The pharmacies will offer such services as competitive price matching on medication and refill reminders, as well as assistance with Medicare and Medicaid claims, among others. 

 

Benzer said that through its franchise model, it’s expecting to be in a strong position to negotiate drug prices with manufacturers while offering franchisees the recognition of a national brand, business coaching, and access to expert HR, marketing, accounting, compliance and operational support.
