DePietro’s Pharmacy

What DePietro’s Pharmacy does

DePietro's Pharmacy is a privately held, single-location independent community pharmacy founded in 2012 in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, owned and operated by pharmacist Tom DePietro. The pharmacy serves the general consumer/patient population of Dunmore and surrounding Lackawanna County communities (Scranton, Dickson City, Clarks Summit, and others), with mail-order prescription delivery extending its reach across Pennsylvania. Its service portfolio spans traditional prescription dispensing, immunization (COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, TDaP, travel vaccines), and the differentiated Pillbox monthly medication-organization subscription, supplemented by weight-loss and ED wellness consultations, a Medicare GLP Bridge Program, compounding, pet medications, pediatric medication flavoring, drug disposal, telehealth via XpediCare, and free home delivery.

The underlying technology stack is conventional independent-pharmacy infrastructure rather than a proprietary platform: it uses a RedsailApp patient portal (RxLocal) for online refills, the Win-Rx Rx 2 Go mobile application for iOS and Android, Jotform for prescription-transfer intake, and XpediCare for telehealth. The Pillbox service is the closest thing to a differentiated operational product, organizing patients' full monthly regimens into date- and time-stamped packets that double as a recurring-revenue subscription and a switching-cost mechanism.

The business model is dominated by insurance-based transaction revenue from prescription dispensing and vaccines, layered with a monthly subscription stream from the Pillbox service, professional-services fees for wellness consultations and MICC injections, and OTC retail. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via walk-in retail, a pharmacy-switch acquisition funnel, multi-platform social media, a Google Business Profile, and word-of-mouth, with no B2B or institutional channel. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity, and reports a 4.7-star Google Reviews rating.

Emerging players

• Alto Pharmacy: Digital-first pharmacy offering free same-day delivery and care coordination — comparable in delivery-led, app-driven prescription refills and competes for digitally native refill customers.
• Amazon Pharmacy: Online mail-order pharmacy integrated with Amazon's logistics and Prime ecosystem — competes directly with DePietro's mail-order offering for prescriptions to Pennsylvania residents outside the delivery zone.

Direct peers

• Health Mart: McKesson-owned franchise of independent community pharmacies offering prescription filling, immunizations, and clinical services — direct peer in the independent pharmacy affiliation and clinical service space.
• Good Neighbor Pharmacy: Network of independently owned community pharmacies affiliated through AmerisourceBergen offering prescription services and value-added clinical care — directly comparable model and competes for the same independent pharmacy affiliation decisions.
• Avita Pharmacy: Specialty and community pharmacy operator focused on personalized medication services including compounding and 340B programs — comparable in specialty/compounding services and patient-centric community pharmacy positioning.

Regional players

• Neighborcare Pharmacy Services: Pharmacy services provider with strong institutional focus across multiple U.S. regions — relevant for comparing independent pharmacy operating models, though its scale and institutional mix differ from DePietro's community retail focus.

Broad incumbents

• Walgreens: Major U.S. drugstore chain offering prescription dispensing, immunization services, and same-day delivery — comparable consumer-facing pharmacy model with overlapping offerings in retail, vaccines, and delivery.
• Rite Aid: U.S. retail pharmacy chain competing on prescription dispensing, wellness products, and in-store services — directly relevant regional competitor with similar consumer-facing service catalog.
• CVS Pharmacy: Largest U.S. retail pharmacy chain operating thousands of storefronts with prescription dispensing, vaccinations, and delivery — directly comparable prescription services and competitive overlap in the same geographic corridors, but vastly larger scale and broader portfolio.

Others

• PCCA (Professional Compounding Centers of America): Supplier of APIs, equipment, and training to independent compounding pharmacies — enables compounding services like those DePietro's offers and is a relevant ecosystem partner/peer in the compounding segment.
