Even though community pharmacies provide the primary service of having the role in medical supply and promoting suitable drug use in the community, it also can be a profitable retail business. During the outbreak crisis, some areas of the pharmacy was income impacted, but after the outbreak crisis, the recovery was still uncertain which might expand to the operation and profitability. The analysis for the opportunity in crisis then used to develop the pharmacy might be the way to allow the business to grow.
