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.
