Dr. Andres Apotheke Stadelhofen

What Dr. Andres Apotheke Stadelhofen does

Dr. Andres Apotheke Stadelhofen is a single-location Swiss pharmacy (Aktiengesellschaft) operating since 1954 at Goethestrasse 22 in central Zürich, affiliated with the Rotpunkt Apotheken network. The pharmacy employs 13 people and operates a traditional retail pharmacy format with extended hours (07:15-19:00 weekdays, Saturday 09:00-18:00). Its core differentiator is a 70-year tradition of manufacturing proprietary herbal house specialities (Hausspezialitäten) in-house using fresh medicinal plants from regional organic sources, with a portfolio of more than 30 proprietary formulations including tinctures, capsules, gels, teas, and topical preparations such as Urotib F for urinary tract infections, Wallwurz Gel for musculoskeletal pain, and Schlaf Kapseln for sleep support.

The business operates across six primary revenue streams: (1) retail pharmacy sales of prescription and OTC products; (2) proprietary house specialities sold exclusively in-store; (3) fee-for-service healthcare consultations and diagnostics (CRP checks, blood glucose, vitamin D3, blood pressure, cystitis checks, PrevCheck at CHF 129, Energie-Check at CHF 140); (4) vaccination services (COVID-19, flu, FSME, HPV, pneumococcal, meningitis, travel vaccines); (5) an in-house wound ambulatorium staffed by certified wound experts treating acute, chronic, and post-operative wounds; and (6) cosmetic services including facials, manicures, pedicures, sugaring, and ear piercing alongside premium skincare brands (Cellcosmet, Caudalie, Dr. Hauschka). The pharmacy serves local Zürich residents and visitors seeking prescription fulfillment, preventive health services, minor ailment treatment, and personal care.

The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer via the physical storefront, supplemented by online appointment booking (Shore.com, Treatwell) and the Rotpunkt online shop. Distribution is bounded to a single Swiss location with no indication of geographic expansion, multi-site rollout, or external capital. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, no institutional investors, and relationships structured as a network affiliate within the Rotpunkt-Pharma AG umbrella.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Galenica AG: SIX-listed parent of Amavita and the largest Swiss pharmaceutical logistics/distribution group. Comparable as the dominant incumbent in Swiss retail pharmacy; its scale, vertical integration, and e-commerce activities (including its partnership with/around DocMorris history) define the competitive context for Dr. Andres.
• Amavita Apotheken: Largest Swiss pharmacy chain (Galenica Group) with ~180 locations and a broad service portfolio including health checks, vaccinations, and chronic-condition support. Comparable because it operates the same direct-to-consumer pharmacy format in Swiss cities and competes for the same Zürich foot traffic, but at significantly larger scale and with a wider OTC assortment.
• Benu Apotheken Schweiz: Pan-European pharmacy brand operating a growing Swiss chain (Phoenix Group). Direct competitor for prescription dispensing, OTC, cosmetics, and core pharmacy services in urban Zürich — comparable business model but no in-house compounding specialization.

Regional players

• Wellcare Apotheken: Smaller Swiss pharmacy chain operating primarily in German-speaking Switzerland with a focus on health-service add-ons. Comparable as a regional direct competitor on prescription/OTC retail and on the trend toward service-driven pharmacy economics.

Direct peers

• TopPharm Apotheken: Cooperative of ~130 independent Swiss pharmacies offering dispensing, OTC, and an expanding suite of paid services (vaccinations, health checks). Closely aligned with Dr. Andres on the independent/community-pharmacy positioning and on the trajectory of building service-led revenue beyond pure dispensing.
• Dr. Bähler Apotheken / DROPA: Swiss independent/community pharmacy group with both own-brand stores and partner-pharmacy formats under the DROPA banner. Comparable in emphasizing personalized advice, complementary medicine, and chronic-care service lines in a single-pharmacy setting.
• Apotheke Stauffacher: Sibling pharmacy within the Rotpunkt Apotheken network, also located in central Zürich with a comparable retail/service mix including prescription dispensing, OTC, cosmetics, and diagnostics. Same corporate parent (Rotpunkt-Pharma AG) and same online booking/CRM infrastructure, making it the closest direct comparable for store-level economics and service portfolio benchmarking.

Emerging players

• DocMorris AG (formerly Zur Rose): Swiss-headquartered online pharmacy (now part of the Redcare/Shop-Apotheke group structure). An emerging-player competitor compressing OTC and prescription economics city-wide; Dr. Andres must compete against its pricing on commodity SKUs and rely on services and proprietary compounds for differentiation.
