Innovative Pharma Company, Galt Signs 50th Franchise

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The first and only pharmaceutical company to create a unique franchise pharma concept referred to as “phranchising,” Galt Pharmaceuticals recently signed its 50^th territory.

“Our unique model offers the right entrepreneur the opportunity to run their own pharmaceutical company in their local market using a very patient-centric approach to educating healthcare providers,” said Galt CEO and co-founder Barry Patel, Pharm.D.

Validating this transformative model, Atlanta-based Galt brought on its 50^th territory just 8 months after beginning to sell Galt Phranchises last April. Independent pharmacist and entrepreneur Alex Brumfield acquired the 49^th and 50^th territories in San Antonio, Texas.

“Although I’ve owned and operated independent pharmacies in Louisiana and Texas, the Galt Phranchise opportunity allows me to leverage my clinical and business skills, as well as my medical network contacts, to build a whole different type of business,” said Brumfield, who acquired 2 territories.

Each Galt Phranchise owner has exclusive rights to represent Galt Pharmaceuticals products after receiving training and certification to promote in their local communities in accordance with FDA-approved labeling.

“The traditional pharmaceutical industry model is built to prevent competition and truly needs transformation through the entrepreneurial spirit,” said Galt Chairman and co-founder Wade Smith. “We believe that pharmaceutical education is best delivered through a local business owner rather than top-heavy pharma companies.”

Galt’s founders say their goal is to help fill unmet clinical needs with FDA-approved pharmaceuticals. Galt’s current lead product is Doral (Quazepam) and will launch a non-controlled pain drug later this year. Doral has FDA indications for the treatment of insomnia for patients having difficulty falling asleep, difficulty maintaining sleep and early morning awakenings.
