Amazon has recently obtained licenses to operate as a pharmacy in several states and looks to be actively pursuing licenses in more states. In addition, Amazon now owns the AmazonRX.com website.
Perhaps Amazon is preparing to go into mail order prescriptions and become a mail order pharmacy. Or it could be that Amazon is preparing to open up pharmacies in many states. Now that they own Whole Foods it is possible for them to add pharmacies to their existing grocery stores. The company could do a combination and offer in store pharmacies and mail order.
There are Amazon bookstores scattered throughout the country and results have shown that the profit from them is not as great as they had hoped. These bookstores could be converted to drugstores. Amazon is large company and can secure good prices on over the counter drugs and also on prescription medications.
If Amazon wanted to, it could buy a pharmacy chain and also sell Amazon products such as the Echo or other electronic products. These stores could be like drugstores that also sell a selection of high profit Amazon products. They could compete with those Target Express stores which have pharmacies and a selection of discount store products.
