How We Turn Former Drugstores into Profitable Plasma Centers

Drugstore retrofits are fast becoming a Stough specialty. Here’s how we can retrofit a former Walgreens or CVS quickly to your needs.

Stough has excellent connections in the real estate industry, and can get an offer in front of building owners eager to sell when CVS or Walgreens leave.

1. We have the connections and skills to work with the building owners of former drugstores

Because of our decades of experience in the real estate development business, we know the situation owners of former drugstores are facing. Their buildings and parking lots, empty, are worth as little as one-third what they were worth as functioning drugstores.

The trick is reaching the people making decisions about these properties before your competition. We have access to these landlords and the negotiating skills to help them see the value of selling their buildings to Stough for redevelopment.

Our site team can not only help you find a former corner drugstore with great potential for drawing plasma donors; we can provide data regarding the nearest plasma center to the site, and what traffic you can expect.

2. Former drugstore sites make superb plasma centers

  • They are free-standing, often on busy, desirable corners (much preferable to strip-mall sites).
  • They are the ideal size and shape: 90-120 feet deep rectangles or squares.
  • They have generous parking lots, and usually already have exterior lighting and landscaping in place.
  • They can be retrofitted economically.

3. Stough can transform a former drugstore into a high-producing plasma center quickly

Drugstores are basically wide open inside, so they are easy to reconfigure into plasma centers­—without compromising your desired operational layout.

There are not as many materials or approvals needed, so the process goes much faster than a new, ground-up Stough plasma center.

Our expertise in both new construction and remodels makes it easy for us to adapt a building to reflect your corporate persona inside and out.
