Rx Shelving Guidebook

Pharmacies have unique store fixture requirements. The areas in which pharmacies fulfill prescriptions, known as the pharmacy back-end, require specially designed fixtures to store, secure and access essential supplies as well as counters and under counter cabinets to create organized and efficient pharmacy store workstations. Pharmacy stores also require a lot of shelf storage space to keep their bottles. Conventional shelving is not as efficient for pharmacy back-end/fulfillment needs. In addition to Rx Pharmacy Shelving and Rx Pharmacy Cabinets, pharmacies need unique store shelving such as Metal Gondola Shelving, Glass Showcases and more for the front-end retail selling space.
