Benzer Pharmacy President Alpesh Patel Selected 2018 Entrepreneur Of The Year® Award Finalist by EY

Patel and twenty-nine other local entrepreneurial-minded leaders comprise Florida contingent of honorees

TAMPA, Fla. (PRWEB) May 07, 2018

Benzer Pharmacy is honored to announce that Alpesh Patel, the President of Benzer Pharmacy, has been named the Entrepreneur Of The Year Award® Finalist for 2018 in Florida. The distinction comes as part of EY’s annual salute to entrepreneurs who are setting new standards for exceptional business leaders in their communities.

A panel of independent judges evaluated each candidate’s impact in the areas of innovation, financial performance, and personal commitment. In the eyes of Robert Shatanoff, CFO, those benchmarks provide a small, but “compelling snapshot” of what President Patel has achieved on behalf of himself and the company as a whole.

“In less than 10 years, Benzer Pharmacy has emerged as one of the most impactful chains of independent retail pharmacies in the United States—with 65+ corporate locations and approximately 20 franchisees under one brand,” Shatanoff said. “It really is a success story unlike any other, one driven by Alpesh’s unique vision for changing the pharmacy business landscape for the better.”

Benzer Pharmacies are situated throughout Florida, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Nevada, and Louisiana. In the coming months, projections call for continued rapid growth. And if past performance is any indication of future success, Robert Shatanoff suggests, “Patel’s selection as an EY Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist might just become a regular annual highlight on the calendar!”

Winners will be announced at a special gala on June 7, 2018, at Loews Sapphire Falls Resort in Orlando, Florida. The subsequent EY National Awards event is scheduled to be held on November 17, 2018, in Palm Springs, California.

The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program is now in its 32nd year of recognizing outstanding business leadership. It currently is active in more 145 countries, representing 60+ countries throughout the world. According to a source document from EY: “The awards are the culminating event of the Strategic Growth Forum®, the nation’s most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies.”

Founded and produced by EY, the Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards are nationally sponsored in the U.S. by SAP America, the Kauffman Foundation, and Merrill Corporation. In Florida, regional platinum sponsors also include Greenberg Taurig and PNC Bank.
