Bremo Pharmacy

What Bremo Pharmacy does

Bremo Pharmacy is a family-owned, multi-service compounding pharmacy headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, founded in 1976 by Dan Herbert and currently led by his daughter Catherine Herbert. It operates three physical locations on Staples Mill Road (main pharmacy, training center, and LTC pharmacy) serving the Richmond metropolitan area. The core offering is prescription dispensing combined with PCAB-accredited sterile and non-sterile compounding — Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN), and veterinary preparations — out of a USP <800> compliant hazardous-drug compounding center.

The business spans several service lines: long-term care pharmacy (Bremo LTC Pharmacy) for group homes, assisted living, and intermediate care facilities, supported by QuickMAR electronic MAR, SyncRx medication synchronization, FlexRX/Medicine-On-Time packaging, and free medication-administration training; clinical services (vaccinations, travel health consultations, A1C testing, injectable medication administration, annual medication reviews); specialty retail (Bremo Compression Clinic with Sigvaris products, Bremo Medical Equipment / DME, and Bremo Nutrition Studio using the Ideal Protein protocol); professional training (PTCB-accredited pharmacy technician course, CPR, and 32-hour medication administration training); and an e-commerce shop for OTC, bariatric, travel, and senior-safety products. A RxLocal mobile app and QR-coded prescription labels support patient engagement.

Revenue is generated through prescription dispensing and compounding (transaction fees, partially insurance-reimbursed), clinical and training services (professional services fees), OTC and DME product sales (hardware sales), and ancillary services such as DEA-registered medication disposal. Pricing on cash-pay services is unit-based and low-ticket (e.g., $35 flu shots, $30 A1C tests, $50 travel consults, $20 injection administration, $5 disposal). The company holds ACHC, PCAB, and PTCB accreditations and has been a Henrico EDA Legacy Partner; it remains privately held with no disclosed outside capital.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• CVS Pharmacy: National retail pharmacy and PBM owner competing head-to-head on prescription dispensing, vaccinations, and clinical services; relevant for benchmarking retail-pharmacy unit economics and competitive pressure.
• Walgreens Boots Alliance: Largest U.S. retail drugstore chain that competes directly for walk-in prescription volume, vaccinations, and clinical services in the Richmond market — a benchmark for scale.
• Genoa Healthcare: Specialty and behavioral-health pharmacy operator within Optum; comparable as a pharmacy that bundles specialty dispensing, packaging, and clinical services for complex patient populations.
• Omnicare (CVS Health): CVS-owned long-term care pharmacy; competes with Bremo LTC for facility contracts in the Richmond market and offers overlapping consulting, packaging, and eMAR-adjacent capabilities.

Direct peers

• Thrifty White Pharmacy: Employee-owned regional pharmacy chain explicitly cited as Bremo's wholesale partner; comparable independent-to-regional pharmacy model with compounding, LTC, and medication synchronization services.
• Wedgewood Pharmacy: One of the largest U.S. compounding pharmacies specializing in veterinarian and human compounds; comparable because it competes for the same specialty-compounding revenue pool as Bremo's compounded preparations.
• PharMerica: National long-term care and institutional pharmacy serving assisted living, group homes, and skilled nursing facilities — directly comparable to Bremo LTC Pharmacy's segment, just at vastly larger scale.
• Triangle Compounding Pharmacy: Independent compounding pharmacy in Cary, NC offering PCAB-accredited sterile and non-sterile compounding, BHRT, and clinical services — a near-identical service mix to Bremo with a similar community-pharmacy footprint.

Others

• PCCA (Professional Compounding Centers of America): Compounding pharmacy membership organization and bulk supplier; Bremo is an existing PCCA member, making PCCA the closest enabling/comparator for compounding inputs and best-practice benchmarks.
• Ideal Protein (parent of Bremo Nutrition Studio): Protocol licensor behind Bremo Pharmacy Nutrition Studio; comparable because Bremo's weight-loss clinic, compression clinic, and training programs mirror the diversified wellness-services model many Ideal Protein hosts adopt.
