Community partnerships Leverage Thrifty White’s engagement with local health organizations (Bemidji Senior Center vaccination clinic) to position joint promotion opportunities, in-store clinics, and vaccination programs as a pathway to drive pharmacy services, immunizations, and durable medical equipment upsells.

Local footprint Target expansion discussions around the Minnesota presence with a focus on near-term store/network optimization, given recent office closures and potential opportunities to consolidate or re-route customers to Northeast Super One Foods partnerships for co-located services or pharmacy pick-ups.

Innovation track Capitalize on recognized Pharmacy Innovator of the Year legacy by proposing pilot programs around patient adherence, chronic disease management, and specialty/non-prescription solutions that align with Thrifty White’s innovative branding and Upsher-Smith relationships.

Technology uplift Offer modern pharmacy IT enhancements and data-driven marketing capabilities leveraging existing tech stack (Claviyo for targeted communications, OnBase for document management, Microsoft 365 for collaboration) to improve patient outreach, loyalty programs, and operational efficiency.

SMB collaboration Position Thrifty White as a partner for independent and small-market health initiatives, providing turnkey vaccination events, senior center collaborations, and local health education programs to broaden customer reach and solidify a competitive edge against larger chains.
