Prescription Center

What Prescription Center does

Prescription Center (legal name: The Prescription Center) is an independent community pharmacy founded in 1969 and headquartered at 125 North Main Street in downtown Concord, New Hampshire, with 51-100 employees. It dispenses prescription medications and offers a broad ancillary service portfolio including custom compounding for humans and animals, immunizations, flu/strep testing, health screenings, durable medical equipment sales, physician supplies for local practices, and long-term-care medication management. The pharmacy is led by Charles Fanaras, RPh, a Massachusetts College of Pharmacy graduate. Technology infrastructure is conventional for the sector: a pharmacy management system from Lumistry, automated multi-dose compliance packaging via the Parata BD Pouch System, a patient-facing mobile app (RxLocal) for 24/7 refills and reminders, and a Digital Pharmacist web portal for prescription refill and transfer. Distribution combines a single physical storefront, curbside pickup, home delivery, and statewide mail-order fulfillment.

The company's customer base is highly fragmented across several segments: general consumers and families on routine prescriptions, patients requiring compounded formulations, chronic-condition and long-term-care patients using med-sync and multi-dose packaging, pet owners, and local Concord-area physician practices purchasing medical supplies. Commercial motion is direct-to-consumer with significant word-of-mouth and community-referral driven acquisition rather than paid marketing. The revenue model mixes transaction-based prescription dispensing (reimbursed via major insurance plans with patient copays/deductibles), professional service fees for compounding, immunizations, screenings, and clinical testing, and hardware sales for DME and physician supplies. No public funding rounds, M&A activity, or external investors are disclosed; the business operates as a privately-held, bootstrapped local enterprise with no disclosed revenue figure. Geographic footprint is anchored in Concord with statewide mail-order reach but no reported plan for multi-location expansion.
