In fact, when people are sick, the first thing that comes to mind is to go to the pharmacy to buy medicines to treat themselves first, and then choose to go to the hospital if the condition does not improve. Today, pharmacies are given more roles. Modern pharmacies not only sell medicines, but also sell some pharmaceutical skin care products, cosmetics, equipment to help people recover, and various health foods.

With the development of e-commerce platforms, offline shopping needs to be as efficient and visually stimulating as online shopping. And in fact, a modern pharmacy layout needs to meet the emotional needs of customers as well as their visual needs in a modern pharmacy floor plan is not always an easy task, how to start and choose which suitable display furniture? Hope this article gave you some ideas.
Why is Pharmacy Design Important to Customer Experience?
In a 2019 report by Retail Customer Experience Experts, 70% of shoppers complained about a negative shopping experience caused by "empty or broken shelves, disorganized inventory, and poor appearance." Of the 70% of dissatisfied customers surveyed, 64% left without making a purchase. While a high-quality pharmacy renovation or renovation can be an expensive endeavor, statistics show that it is a worthwhile investment if your pharmacy design and processes are carefully researched.
These statistics reveal an important fact to be aware of - while the growth of the online market continues to rise, consumers still frequent storefront businesses, including pharmacies. According to the National Retail Federation, nearly 79% of consumers surveyed still visit stores for pharmacy needs.
Which Pharmacy Design to Choose?
Before starting, find out the sales positioning of your store. You can decide whether your pharmacy is a type that sells all kinds of medicines, or has a diagnosis room, or can sell all kinds of medicines and pharmaceutical cosmetics products. shape. It's all up to you, if you can confirm the direction of the type before starting the design, it will help your project follow-up and save some time.
Here are 3 store designs for your reference:
This is a pharmacy where we design custom-made and sell all kinds of medicines for African customers. The store clerk can also guide you to buy medicines according to your symptoms. Although the area of the store is not very large, you can see from the design drawings that there are a lot of display spaces in the store for placing medicines. The overall layout looks very orderly, and the color matching is also very simple.
The plane of the pharmacy is L-shaped. In order to maximize the use of the interior space, we have designed a lot of wall cabinets and front counters.
Since the side chords of the ceiling on the second floor of the store are relatively round, when designing this wall cabinet, we designed the top of the wall cabinet to be more arc, so that it looks more consistent with the store design from the visual effect. And it can also install downlights on the top to provide enough brightness for your medicines.
The highlight of this wall cabinet is the A-pillar structure used on the back. We know that the packaging size of different medicines is different, and the height of the shelf is too high or too low, which will affect your use, so we specially choose the A-pillar support frame, so that the height of the shelf can be adjusted according to your needs. It's more convenient.
At first glance, this round-shape wall showcase might look like a screen, but it's actually very cleverly designed. The upper half of the semi-circular arc can eliminate the visual fatigue of customers, and the design similar to the nine-square grid can make the product placement neater. The design of the middle wood-grain drawer can store more unique medicines, and the storage environment and requirements of different medicines are also different, such as some need to avoid direct light and so on. At the bottom of the Showcases is a locker against the wall, which can be used as a storage area.
The wall cabinet is of course placed in the inner area of the store against the wall, and it may not need to have a promotional function, but it is better if it can properly advertise your medicines. So we designed this wall cabinet with a light box on the top. The middle area of the cabinet is the area for your product, and the bottom side is not enough, so it is designed as drawer space.
From the layout point of view, the design of this pharmacy is obviously quite different from the first pharmacy. We have designed a lot of areas and spaces for other functions according to the needs of customers. The design drawing is mainly divided into 6 parts, the entrance reception area, the consultation room, the dispensing room, the medicine display area, and the infusion area. In fact, this kind of pharmacy can also become a small clinic, and there will be doctors with certain qualifications to treat patients with simple diseases. The functionality required by such a pharmacy is more complex, and there are more types of commercial furniture used.

For example, the wall cabinets and various shelves used in the dispensing room can effectively improve the efficiency of dispensing. Each layer of the board is designed at an inclined angle and has a partition board. The inclined medicine rack allows you to quickly get the pills. The partition board can effectively distinguish different types of medicines, which improves work efficiency and makes the placement more convenient.
This kind of pharmacy also needs to consider the space for drug display and placement in the design, so it is usually decorated with a whole wall cabinet, or you can choose a style with an A-pillar bracket so that you can adjust the space between the shelves of the wall cabinet at will. Highly convenient to use.
This kind of pharmacy can actually be called a grocery store that can sell medicines. It is more common and the design is the most fashionable and simple. Just sort by your products and differentiate with a variety of shelving wall cabinets to get a drugstore design. If you want to make your store more attractive to customers, you need to find a professional designer, consider the use of lighting and decoration, and design a suitable store for you.
