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.
