KC's View:
The emergence of at-home genetic testing is something that we’ve written about here on MNB, as well as in our Chain Store Age column. It is a significant indicator of where the world is going, and a wonderful opportunity for retailers to close the circle between the products sold in the pharmacy and elsewhere in the store.
