Pharmacie de l'Ile

What Pharmacie de l'Ile does

Pharmacie de l'Ile (doing business as pharmacieplus de l'île) is an independently owned community retail pharmacy located at Grand-Rue 58 bis, 1180 Rolle, Switzerland, with heritage dating to 1879. The business operates a single retail location supported by a team of 14-15 individuals, including owner-pharmacist Christophe Rossier (pharmacien propriétaire), responsible pharmacist Matthieu Goldschmidt (pharmacien responsable), additional pharmacists (Séverine, Ana, Chloé), pharmacy assistants (Catherine, Karine, Sylvana, Myriam, Stephanie), an apprentice (Leonisa), and a management assistant (Liridona). The pharmacy is a member of the PharmaciePlus network, which comprises more than 80 affiliated pharmacies across French-speaking Switzerland.

The offering combines traditional retail pharmacy sales (prescription and over-the-counter medications, cosmetics, and personal care) with an unusually broad clinical and preventive service portfolio for a single-site pharmacy. Clinical services include rapid diagnostic screenings (AllergoTest, CardioTest, ferritin testing, type 2 diabetes screening, colorectal cancer screening, HIV screening), vaccinations (influenza, COVID-19, tick-borne encephalitis, hepatitis A/B boosters), pharmaceutical consultations for common conditions (strep throat, urinary tract infections, conjunctivitis, vulvovaginitis, ear complaints, erectile dysfunction, Bach flowers), blood pressure and glycated hemoglobin measurements, wound care, tick removal, ear piercing, and a weekly pill organizer service. The cosmetic range spans nine brands: La Rosée, Erborian, SVR, Clarins, Poderm, Nuxe, La Roche-Posay, Avène, and Furterer. The pharmacy is open Monday through Friday 08:00-18:30 and Saturday 08:00-17:00, and offers home delivery under pharmacy-defined conditions.

Commercially, Pharmacie de l'Ile generates revenue through one-time product sales and fee-for-service professional consultations, supported by home delivery and the network-wide Carte Plus loyalty program (points redeemable as cash or gift vouchers, excluding reimbursed medications). Customer acquisition is community-led through physical presence, the PharmaciePlus network listing, and the abilis.ch e-ordering platform, with appointment booking via Google Calendar. No proprietary technology, mobile application, AI capability, or disclosed financial figures are reported in available sources; the business is privately held with no external investment or parent company disclosed.
