Who is AAP? Insights into Pharmacy Buying Power

AAP logo

Who is AAP? AAP is one of the largest independent pharmacy co-ops in the U.S., comprised of more than 2,000 independent pharmacies.

We are a completely member-controlled independent pharmacy cooperative, where our Members are the stakeholders guiding how the business is operated. Additionally, millions in board-declared Annual Patronage Dividends are returned to Members each year. 

AAP is governed by a Board of Directors elected from our membership, who are real independent pharmacy owners with the same daily, real-world concerns you have.

We have the high-volume buying power to aggressively compete like the chains, while Members sign no long-term vendor contracts.

With AAP, you can quickly adapt to changing market forces with our flexible purchasing options. You can enjoy agility within your PVA as you buy from either API Warehouse and/or our primary national wholesaler, to easily adhere to compliance requirements. 

Our independent pharmacy cooperative Members also have access to proprietary business tools, like ProfitAmp business intelligence, SmartSync ordering program, free OTC Retail Plan-O-Grams and more! These tools help you optimize your buying strategy and profit margin.
