What this buyer pool prices for

Private equity acquirers price for scale and roll-up arbitrage. They pay up for businesses that fit a platform thesis - recurring revenue mix above 30%, technician/professional depth, clean financials, and a management layer that survives integration. A pharmacy that fits the platform thesis prices materially above what an individual buyer would pay because PE is buying a platform piece, not an owner-operated shop.
