From pharmacy staff to pharmacy owner

Chrissy Barr

We caught up with Chrissy Barr from The Medicine Shoppe 1686 to talk about risk, reward, and life lessons she’s learned since becoming her own boss. Read on to hear her story of success in the world of “pharmapreneurship.” 

Can you tell us a little about your store and how you serve your community?

Have you always wanted to own a pharmacy?

What challenges did you face when pursuing pharmacy ownership? How did you overcome them?

What do you love most about being your own boss? Can you speak a little to your work/life balance?

If you could go back 5 years and give yourself advice based on what you know now, what would that be?

What would you say to other women in the industry who may be starting their ownership journey? Any words of encouragement?
