Case Study:

First Financial

Bank PPP Loan

Supports Creekside

Pharmacy During

Pandemic

From First Financial Bank

CASE STUDY

www.ffb1.com

BACKGROUND AND INTENDED OUTCOME

Creekside Pharmacy is a well-established independent pharmacy that serves the Santa

Rosa community. Tony Ibrahim, new owner, continued that dedication when he purchased

the pharmacy in 2017. The decision to buy the pharmacy meant loans. Pharmacy

financing can be problematic due to lack of collateral and the need for cash for inventory.

What eased his worries were the insights of Drew Hegi, loan officer at First Financial Bank

(FFB). Together, they conducted a cost-benefit analysis, examined clinical requirements,

and assessed the state of business operations. With that knowledge, Drew refinanced a

loan for Tony with terms that supported his future vision.

“Drew understood where I was coming from and where I wanted to go,” said Tony. “What

I appreciated the most was how available Drew made himself to me during the process.

He understood pharmaceutical inventory and capital requirements. Our conversations and

his expertise solidified my decision to refinance with FFB.”

FFB understands the challenges of an independent pharmacy owner. They are a preferred

Small Business Administration (SBA) lender offering financing solutions for pharmacy

owners. They have provided more than $300 million in pharmacy loans. FFB’s years of

pharmacy experience (RPh, current, and former owners on the team) provided Tony with

relevant, industry-specific expertise to fuel his vision.

"I’ve operated other businesses and have success in start-up pharmacies. Creekside was

my first time buying an established pharmacy,” said Tony. “The loan from FFB provided

better terms for the improvements needed to ensure the success of Creekside."

With the funding, Tony focused on efficiencies and personalized approaches to the

existing and new customer base, resulting in a 35 percent increase in prescriptions.

He extended services that pleased community members. The next two years were

growth years for the pharmacy. And all signs pointed to a strong 2020, but then the

pandemic hit. His new goals quickly pivoted to keep Creekside

open, pay employees, and help the community with COVID-19.
