The domestic pharmacy market has undergone a lot of changes starting from the division of medicine. Along with the division of medicine, patients who had previously visited the pharmacy were moved to a hospital or clinic. As the pharmacy became more dependent on the illness and the clinic, the pharmacy began various activities to search for ways other than prescription drugs. At this time, the importance of distribution was emphasized around the time, and as the need to strengthen the competitiveness of pharmacies increased, they rapidly grew into the franchise market. Pharmacy franchise companies continue to lecture on academic management to strengthen the expertise of pharmacists' functions in line with the pharmacy market, which is different from ordinary franchise, in addition to private brand products for pharmacies, diversifying pharmacy handling items, And strengthening its market competitiveness. but research to support it are insufficient. As a research to help this, we analyzed factors affecting the intention of re-contracting and recommendation intention that affect the maintenance and expansion size of the drugstore franchise market. As a result showed the intention of re-contracting and the intention of recommending are affected by positive influence in brand trust. In addition, Brand Promise, Employee authenticity, Originality, Product excellence, Brand reputation, Brand identification, Educational Satisfaction were found to affect brand trust.
