Health is wealth and in this case, the health care industry. Its worth billions of pesos industry and a lot of market hungry for cheap but quality medicines. The Generics Pharmacy franchise Philippines is a good choice to get into the health care business. Especially for those who wants a piece of the market’s ever growing potential for affordable medicine.

Because of the changing times and new viruses that are emerging, there is always a risk that you can get sick. Not to mention that our environment and weather isn’t as stable as it was before due to global warming. Set those aside, humans grow old and part of it is getting sick be it a simple cold, cough, fever, we all run to a drugstore to purchase medicine, thus making it a good market for it never dies out. However because of the changing times and the economy not performing too well, medicines and other primary needs’ prices sky rocketed, thus average people can no longer afford to buy them. As a result most Filipinos either go to quack doctors to have them attend to their illnesses because it is much cheaper than going to the doctor and having them prescribe expensive medications. Some due to lack of money just endure the pain wishing that their disease or illness will go away someday not knowing that it is getting worst as time goes by and that they’re only waiting for death to come to them.

However due to the Filipinos unique capability of being resourceful, they came up with the idea of using herbal medicines and non-branded medicines as substitutes. Thus began the emergence of Pharmaceutical companies like The Generic Pharmacy. It was a year ago when former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo realized the primary problems of the poor and one of it was getting deprived of affordable medicine. With this she made the Generic Act which provides less expensive medicine for the poor, and lowers the price of those branded medicines to make them more affordable. This came out to be good idea because The Generics Pharmacy which provides those benefits became quite successful that it managed to put out 345 outlets in just two years after their debut to the market. As of today there are more than 739 The Generics Pharmacy Franchise Outlet nationwide, providing not just affordable medicine but also offering free check-ups in some selected branches. The Generics Pharmacy doesn’t wish to stop there, they aim to provide every Filipino an affordable medicine just around the corner to ensure that everyone isn’t deprived of good health despite the economic crisis we are experiencing.

The Generics Pharmacy despite being a business has its main goal to help the Filipino people most especially the less fortunate and elderly, prices of medicines they offer are slashed down versions of popular brand prices. Generics Pharmacy also offers 20% discounts to the senior citizens whom needs the medicine the most another unique concept that The Generics Pharmacy implies is not to hire any medical representative to reduce the cost, because they believe that there is no need for them because most people have already heard about the Pharmacy anyway.

As of the current The Generics Pharmacy is looking for more innovative ways to provide affordable medicine to the masses, and one way of doing so is having it open for Franchise. They are offering unit franchises for as low as P300,000 to P500,000 (Franchise Fee inclusive), they also have two choices in which you could choose from:

With the rise of the fast food giant, Jollibee Philippines, comes the giant to convenient shopping. A store that never closes and probably the most popular store / franchise which you can see in every corner of the metro.

Who would have guessed that a mere convenience store would be so successful that it can be found in almost every corner of a town, it all started during October 26, 1982 when Philippine Seven Corporation finally acquired the license agreement to use the 7-Eleven Convenience Store System from its original owner Southland Corporation of Dallas, Texas. Finally, being incorporated by Jose T. Pardo, Vicente T. Paterno and Francisco R. Sibal they were able to register with SEC on November 29, 1982 in just a month. The Company’s goal were simple, to provide good quality food to the local market for a 24 hours a day.

For further improvements and in order to apply the technology being used in Southland based branches, they formed a team which composed of Fracisco R. Sibal, Ramon De jesus, Jose Blanch, Wilfredo Villanueva, and Teodoro Wenceslao to train and learn how they manage there. Their training lasted for five weeks, but it really paid off because upon their arrival they started testing out what they learned from the five week training. Site selection, Design and Construction, Negotiation amongst Suppliers, Ordering of Equipments, Recruitment and training of Employees, these were the points that lead them to opening their first branch which was constructed at the corner of EDSA and Kamias Streets in Kamuning Quezon. They experienced major setbacks but were able to handle them and was able to open up another branch within the same year, this was placed at President Ave., BF Homes Paranaque.

From then on, the 7-Eleven Philippine Franchise grew and grew to the point that it can be seen almost anywhere you go, be it in long high-ways or even in major and minor towns. The 7-Eleven Franchise targets those who are in the middle class, mostly busy employees who are also on the go and needs to get something to eat fast and convenient, being able to do so they ensured success and the Franchise grew and grew.

The 7-Eleven Franchise never failed to innovate ways to provide the masses what they need, be it a cool drink to battle the scorching summer heat with a very refreshing SLURPEE, or scrumptious hotdog sandwiches which are always fresh and ready anytime of the day, and their most recent adaption of Mr.Donuts for you to enjoy.
