Pharmacy Gondolas

Home Store fittings Pharmacy Pharmacy Gondolas

A pharmacy gondola is low shelving (1.20 to 1.60 m for central islands) with refined finishes (wood cladding, lacquered ends, integrated signage), designed to display parapharmacy and dermo-cosmetics while keeping clear sightlines across the dispensary. Kollirama handles layout study, manufacturing and installation.

Product description

Specially developed for the pharmacy environment, our pharmacy gondolas combine sturdiness, modularity, and contemporary design. They allow for a clear and structured presentation of your pharmaceutical products while optimizing every square meter of your retail space. We integrate your signage to enhance the readability of your product categories, and we offer custom wood paneling to bring warmth, elegance, and consistency to your pharmacy's visual identity.

Pharmacy gondola vs standard gondola: the differences

A pharmacy gondola differs from a standard retail gondola by its reduced height (typically 1.20 to 1.60 m), keeping a clear view over the whole dispensary and advice areas, by its refined finishes (wood cladding, lacquered ends, signage headers) and by shelves suited to small packs (parapharmacy, dermo-cosmetics, hygiene). It is not designed for heavy loads like a food or DIY gondola: the priority is product legibility and harmony with the pharmacy furniture.

Rural or urban pharmacy: an adapted layout

In rural pharmacies with generous floor areas, low double-sided gondolas structure wide parapharmacy universes and ease self-service. In urban pharmacies where every square metre counts, taller wall units combined with very low central gondolas maximise shelving without crowding the space. The Kollirama design office models your layout in 2D/3D before manufacturing.

Frequently asked questions

What gondola height for a pharmacy?

For central islands, choose low gondolas of 1.20 to 1.60 m: the whole pharmacy stays visible, the team keeps eye contact with patients and advice areas remain in view. Wall units can go up to 2.20 m to maximize shelf run.

Pharmacy gondola with or without wood cladding?

Wood cladding brings warmth and consistency with the pharmacy furniture; it is recommended for premium categories (dermo-cosmetics, natural products). A white epoxy gondola without cladding still works for functional categories (hygiene, baby care) and reduces the budget. Both combine well in one pharmacy.

How does a pharmacy gondola differ from a food-store gondola?

A pharmacy gondola is lower, carries noticeably lighter loads than food-retail or DIY shelving and puts the emphasis on finishes: lacquered ends, signage headers, wood cladding. It is designed for small packs and refined presentation, not bulk storage.

Can pharmacy gondolas be reconfigured after installation?

Yes. Shelves adjust tool-free in 25 mm steps, 665 and 1,000 mm modules combine and extend, and accessories (hooks, dividers, label holders) swap freely to follow your product ranges.

How long does it take to equip a pharmacy with gondolas?

Typically 4 to 8 weeks between layout approval and installation, depending on the amount of custom work (wood cladding in particular). Kollirama installs across France, outside opening hours if needed so the pharmacy stays open.
