There are fewer buyers purchasing pharmacies. Some of the largest pharmacy chains have been purchased and consolidated in the pharmacy industry roll-up. Many smaller chains have run into financial difficulties and have stopped their expansion. Graduating pharmacy students have opted for jobs instead of the headache of ownership. Many independents have seen their own profits decreasing and have been hesitant to buy another pharmacy. It is more difficult for an inexperienced person to drive an acquisition price higher when there are fewer pharmacy buyers ready to complete a pharmacy acquisition.
