Victoria Pharmacy, established by Carl F. Haerlin in 1880 on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse, has a storied history of growth and innovation. Initially located at Bahnhofstrasse 78, the pharmacy was moved to its current location at Bahnhofstrasse 71 by H. Feinstein in 1908, an event commemorated by the antique apothecary furniture still on display. In 1939, Dr. Kurt Egloff acquired the pharmacy, which remains family-run under the third generation.
The 1980s and 1990s marked a period of rapid expansion, with the opening of two additional pharmacies in Zurich: the Lintheschergasse location in 1983 and Olympia Apotheke on Stauffacher in 1994. Presently its still a pharmacy, running in the same place, though it looks very different, much more modern, but they kept the lollipop scale and one of those cabinets.
