Starting with $1100 from savings and a handful of products, Honolulu Pharmacist Richard Weinstein began going door to door calling on pharmacies,

hospitals, physicians and clinics. In 1984, the pharmaceutical market was dominated by large brand name companies selling brand name drugs. Richard realized that there was an opportunity to distribute generic drugs at huge cost savings when compared to the brand product. The pharmacy where Richard had worked did stock some generic drugs but they were being sourced from distributors of generic drugs, not the actual manufacturer of the generic drug, so Richard contacted the actual manufacturer and shortly thereafter flew from Honolulu to New York to meet with the company principals of several generic drug manufacturers and tour their manufacturing facilities.

The result was R. Weinstein Pharmaceuticals being the first distributor in Hawaii to sell generic drugs purchased directly from the actual manufacturer. Longs Drugs, Queen’s Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente were some of R. Weinstein’s early customers as well as many private physicians. By 1986, R. Weinstein’s growing pharmaceutical business surpassed $1,100,000 for the first time.
