Rx Depot Franchise Thriving. Despite the federal lawsuit instituted against Rx Depot for illegally importing prescription medication from Canada, the Pittsburgh Business Journal reports that business at its Squirrel Hill, PA franchise, owned by George Risov, is booming. Mr. Risov owns franchise rights to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and parts of Ohio and New Jersey. Amid the legal controversy, however, the franchise expansion has been put on hold. While both state regulators and the federal lawsuit agree that the importing of drugs from Canada is illegal, legislators in both state and federal government are petitioning for legislation to address the costs of prescription medication and some are seeking legislation to allow purchases from Canada.
