GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO DRUG STORE OUTLETS

There are various types of drug store outlets. Traditionally India had only retail stores few years back but according to the latest trends India is a following the mall cultures. Basically there are various types of drug store outlets and those are as follows: Hospital pharmacy Retail stores pharmacy Mall pharmacy Guardian pharmacy Township pharmacy
Hospital Pharmacies : They catered mainly to the requirements of patients admitted in the hospital. They were housed in the hospital building and dispense a lim. number of medicines. The average size of such stores is 150-200 sq. ft Retail Stores/Standalone stores: The second category of stores, near the residential areas, provides the benefits of proximity to consumers. Some of these stores offered home delivery. The target customers of the store were the educated middle and upper class households Malls/Shop-in-shops : The biggest advantage, most retailers say, of having in-store outlets at supermarkets or departmental stores is the fact that popularity of either brand rubs off on the other.
- 13 -
For e.g. 1. MedPlus Health Services: Hyderabad based pharmacy chain, MedPlus was launched in 2006 currently operates more than 500 stores in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, TamilNadu, etc. 2. Tulsi: Tulsi is a pharmacy retail chain of Future Group. Most of the Tulsi outlets are located in Big Bazar. Future Group currently has over 35 Tulsi outlets across the country. 3. Subhiksha: The branding strategy for this retail store was low-cost and no-frills, i.e., a reliable and trustworthy store that has the lowest prices. It focused on building long-term relationships with its customers by giving them a lifetime of value and savings.
Townships:
Many pharmacy chains are planning to set up their pharmacy chain in townships. Apollo is planning to set up Medicity near Pune. Apollo has signed an agreement with Hindustan Construction Co. (HCC) to set up the medicity inside the upcoming project named Lavasa near Pune.
The organized pharmacy retail market is dominated by big industrial houses like Ranbaxy's (Fortis), Pantaloon (Tulsi), Reliance Retail's (Reliance Health and Pharma) and Subhiksha as well as health care players like Apollo Hospitals Group's (Apollo Pharmacy), Zydus Cadilla's (Dial for Health), Sagar Drugs & Pharmaceuticals' (Planet Health), ), Guardian Lifecare's (Guardian Pharmacy),Religare(Genuine medicine),etc.
- 14 -
Modes of Operation: 1. Company Managed Stores - Company owned pharmacy outlets are owned and manage by company itself. Major pharmacy chains in India like Fortis, Apollo, Alchemist, Subhiksha and Dial for Health have their own pharmacy chains. 2. Franchisee - Medicine Shoppe, MedPlus, Medicine Shoppe operates through the model of franchisee stores in India.
GENUINE DRUGS: 1. These stores dispense genuine drugs that are branded and reliable. 2. Customers have absolutely no chance being deceived, like in many retails outlets where the pharmacist dispense a substitute to prescribed drug of local brand and says both are same drugs. 3. These stores do not dispense expired drugs while the retail stores sometimes do. 4. Packaging having minor defects (deformed bottles, minor broken blister pack, etc.) is kept as rejected goods in mall pharmacy and is not dispensed, while these defects do not matter in many retail outlets.

INFRASTRUCTURE OF MALL PHARMACY DRUG STORE
Retail pharmacies are waiting to take off. The potential is huge and the scenario is similar to what happened in traditional retail. Nobody thought that people would want to go and buy everything from one place like Big Bazaar, Pantaloons and Shoppers Stop. Similarly, things are slowly changing in the pharma retail space. Today, retail chains like Apollo, have an all-India presence through 300 odd outlets. The growth rates of other chains like Medicine Shoppe, and Guardian Pharmacy, Religare (Genuine medicine) chain are phenomenal as they are adding three-four outlets every month. There is clearly a consumer-driven requirement for pharmacy chains. Consumers want to ensure that the medicines that they buy are not fake or spurious. In addition to counterfeiting, it is also the location that is an important issue. Traditionally, chemists or pharmacists have adopted a neighbourhood centric model, where consumers typically go and get medicines from the same neighbourhood shop. Hence, convenience of location will be an important success factor for retail pharmacy chains. Other factors, such as good bargains, discounts, ensuring the quality of medicines and avoiding retail substitution will also ensure the growth of retail chains. All India Chemists and Druggists Organization (AICDO), which for decades has been fighting to protect their business interests, by registering itself as a company.
- 16 -
The pharmacy trade in the country generates an estimated business of Rs. 32,000 crore, apart from about Rs. 18,000 added by hospital pharmacies and exports. Almost all the chemists beside selling allopathic medicines also offer OTC and alternate medicines, surgicals, rehabilitation aids and body care products like soaps, tooth pastes, hair oils, shampoos, cleansing lotions and neutraceuticals, among others, for sale which according to rough estimates generate an additional turnover of about Rs. 15,000 crore. Apollo is ramping up its present network of over 120 pharmacies to 1,000 pharmacies by 2009. Fortis, healthcare services arm of the pharma giant Ranbaxy Group, which has set aside Rs. 800 crore will roll out 1,000 pharmacies in 400 towns, within a couple of years. 250 of these will go on stream during the current year, itself. Ambani brothers are also now entering in the pharmacy business. While, Anil Ambani owned Reliance Health Venture has set aside Rs. 1,200 crore for investment in pharma retailing, elder brother Mukesh Ambani is on the verge of buying a generic drug manufacturing company to meet the requirement of pharmacies to be set up within Reliance Retail outlets.

STORE CHOICE BEHAVIOUR OF INDIAN SHOPPERS

Store Choice and customer support has been widely studied across the world. There is still a vast scope for work as the retailing environment has been changing rapidly leading to changed shopper expectations for choice set of stores. The present project is an attempt to understand the store choice behaviour of the shoppers. It was found few studies in India which are in the public domain. The primary motivation behind this study was to identify major drivers behind choice of stores for various shopping needs as exhibited by a typical Indian consumer today. 1. The primary reasons for choosing a store are convenience and Trade of product. Store surrounding being other reasons. 2. The shoppers would like to minimize the effort of shopping by reducing either the travel time or the time spent in the shop. 3. Men give more prominence to nearness in time. Women tend to trade this off with merchandise offered by the store. They also are more regular buyers of the store. 4. Facilities are more important is cases where the shopper spends more time within the store. 5. Brand spread in the product is attached more important in stores that stores the preferred brand but also gave an opportunity to look at other brands.
- 18 -
Literature Review on Store Choice:

Store choice is classified in literature as primarily as an awareness process. Store choice behaviour of the shoppers has been found to be similar to brand choice. The only difference being the importance of the spatial dimension. A store is chosen based on the self-confidence that the customer has regarding the store about the nature and quality of product and service he would receive. Store choice to be also dependent on socio-economic background of consumers, their personality and past purchase experience. Elderly customers behave differently from younger ones in terms of the type of there treatment by pharmacist. Store choice is a dynamic decision and can be conceptualized as a problem of deciding when and where to shop. The first decision is the traditional store location choice problem. The second is the shopping trip incidence problem relating to the timing of shopping trips. The two decision processes are correlated. The choice of a store is affected by the brand being bought as well as the personal values that the shopper protect hence; a shopper with high personal gratification value would attach more importance to store status than a self-reliant intellectual type shopper.

Only selected brands of drugs are available in mall pharmacy. As these pharmacies are company manage outlets so they dispense drugs that are selected by company managers. 3. Due to less awareness of people regarding mall pharmacy selling of drugs is less. 4. In mall pharmacy drugs and cosmetics products are kept in different places. 5. Mall shop deal in a limited range of product. So the customers do not have a wide choice. 6.
