We had the good fortune of connecting with Julya Friedman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Julya, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?

GPS Pharmacy was founded to address the pressing need for individualized pharmacological therapies within our community.

Recognizing the vital role of compounded specialized therapies in the wellbeing of men, women, and our furry friends, we set our sights on establishing ourselves as the foremost compounding pharmacy in the Carolinas.

We wanted to make sure our patients have a concierge service at our pharmacy and thus including complimentary delivery for all orders was a must for us.

Our patients are at the heart of everything we do, ensuring their experience is as individual as their therapy.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
GPS Pharmacy stands distinct from traditional pharmacies you may have encountered. Our commitment to service excellence is unparalleled, adopting a VIP, concierge-style approach that is genuinely exceptional. We cater to a diverse range of clients, extending our services to every living species, from humans to the smallest mouse. Equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories designed for customizing dosages and delivery methods, we are uniquely positioned to make a significant impact on the health and well-being of all our clients.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Charlotte is an exceptional city, offering a vibrant and diverse culinary landscape that I thoroughly enjoy exploring in my leisure time. As well as visiting my favorite wellness clinics to see the new and coming treatments, these experiences not only enhance my well-being but also allow me to appreciate the unique offerings of this wonderful city.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
In the realm of business, success is rarely a solitary achievement; it is the result of collaborative effort. I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to our exceptional pharmacy team, whose daily dedication and extraordinary efforts consistently meet the needs of our patients. Additionally, I extend my gratitude to our physician partners, who acknowledge and value the significance of partnering with a pharmacy that specializes in compounding. Their recognition is essential to our shared success.
