It's a little more than that though. Street's Pharmacy doesn't hurt by not offering a full range of products like a bigger chain will. If customers don't elect to get what "pharmacy products" they're looking for, they'll simply stop coming. I have herbal products I'll never sell before it expires, but image is important. For example, Susie is a mom of two young boys. She prefers homeopathic drops for teething because she thinks mother nature lives her little ones. If I don't have them, she likely will get them elsewhere along with her $1000 per year in make up, Advil for her sore shoulder, etc, etc.
It's a little more grey (at least economically) than just "they sell them to make money" .
