Happy Birthday Sun Store!
Sun Store celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2022. Switzerland’s oldest pharmacy chain has made big plans to mark its jubilee. First and foremost, the customers will benefit from it.
The story of Sun Store began on 30 August 1972, when chemist Marcel Séverin opened the first perfumery and drugstore in the Sion Métropole shopping centre. 50 years later, there are 94 Sun Store pharmacies across Switzerland. To celebrate the anniversary in style, our customers can look forward to some highlights in 2022. Pharmacies are to be decorated in the 1970s look all year round, selected affiliates will be hosting events with a prize wheel, instant prizes and competitions, and our customers will also benefit from a monthly anniversary offer and attractive discounts on selected products. The Sun Store employees are also celebrating this notable birthday. They are invited to attend an unforgettable performance at Circus Knie in October 2022. A wonderful moment of celebration to share together.
Further development with a focus on the customer
Sun Store has evolved continuously over the past few decades. In November 2021, the pharmacy in the Crissier shopping centre, which was the first to feature a new store design, was opened. Sun Store’s new store concept is fresh, spacious and bright. Thanks to optimised customer management, customers have more space to experience the product range. An attractive shopping experience also means that our employees have more time to focus on their most important task: providing personal advice to our customers. A special counter has been set up to provide customers with advice on the health services offered by the pharmacy. For example, they can ask questions about vaccinations or about allergy or multi-medication checks, book an appointment directly at the counter or pick up their Click-&-Collect orders.
Pharmacy of the future
With its new store design, Galenica is moving one step closer to becoming the pharmacy of the future. We firmly believe that in-pharmacy personalised advice and health services will continue to form a key element of the «Omni-Channel» strategy: offering customers the best experience at all times, in all locations, across all channels.
