TYSONS CORNER, Va., Nov. 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ScripsAmerica Inc. (OTCBB:SCRC), today announced that it has agreed to invest in Wholesale Rx "WRx" in exchange for an equity position in the company.
ScripsAmerica and WRx, a Tennessee-based pharmaceutical distributor, entered into a sales and financing agreement in August of this year to provide independent pharmacies with prescription drugs. The endeavor has generated $318,026 during its initial three months, demonstrating faster revenue growth than expected.
