SHREVEPORT, LA. (October 1, 2026) — Morris & Dickson, the nation’s largest independent pharmaceutical distributor, today announced its selection as a primary wholesale distribution partner for EPIC Pharmacies, Inc. (EPIC Rx), a nationwide buying group
dedicated to supporting independent pharmacies. The agreement represents an important step in Morris & Dickson’s continued geographic expansion and reinforces both organizations’ shared commitment to strengthening independent pharmacy.

Under EPIC Rx’s expanded wholesale distribution model, member pharmacies can now select Morris & Dickson as their primary wholesale distributor, along with additional secondary distribution options. The new approach gives pharmacy owners in the EPIC Rx
group with greater flexibility to select a distribution partner that aligns with their individual business needs, purchasing priorities and service expectations.

For Morris & Dickson, the partnership creates an opportunity to extend its national distribution capabilities into new geographic markets by aligning with an established buying group that shares its commitment to pharmacy independence. “Strategic partnerships with organizations like EPIC Rx are an important part of our growth strategy as we expand into new markets and introduce more independent pharmacies to the Morris & Dickson experience,” said Jason Hanks, Chief Commercial Officer of Morris & Dickson. “EPIC Rx has built a strong network around the needs of independent pharmacy owners. Together, we have an opportunity to bring additional choice, competitive purchasing solutions and a differentiated level.”

As Morris & Dickson continues to expand its national footprint, partnerships with buying groups provide an important avenue for reaching new customers while building on
established relationships within the independent pharmacy community.

“This agreement with Morris & Dickson allows EPIC Rx to broaden our wholesale network and put more decision-making power in the hands of our independent pharmacy owners,” says Brian Hose, EPIC Rx CEO and owner of Sharpsburg Pharmacy. “We’re excited to partner with Morris & Dickson to provide our buying group members with greater choice, value, and flexibility as they make decisions that best support their business and communities they serve.”

“By bringing together EPIC Rx’s collective strength with Morris & Dickson’s high-touch service, supply chain capabilities and commitment to independent pharmacy, we can deliver meaningful value while helping pharmacy owners remain independent and focused on the communities they serve,” said Morris & Dickson’s Todd Laser, SVP, Retail.
