"My ultimate goal would be to open my own pharmacy one day, as I want to provide patients with individual attention and a wider variety of hand-picked products. I also envision myself extending assistance to my community. For instance, I could provide complimentary flu shots for those who do not have insurance coverage. I have an entrepreneurial spirit, so I feel that opening my pharmacy would suit me when I am ready to take that leap."

There is no wrong answer to this question. The interviewers simply want to see what your goals are for the future. If you have plans to own a pharmacy, they want to see why business ownership appeals to you.
