Inflation also affects small pharmacies. Example in Lille in the North, where a practitioner definitely lowers the curtain. In particular, competition from other pharmacies.
This is one of the last curtain raisers for this pharmacy in Place Rihour, in the hypercenter of Lille (North). Aurore Tellier’s pharmacy is in receivership. A heartbreak for the one who settled here 5 years ago. It has become difficult for him to make a profit, with a rent of 10,000 euros per month. For the moment, no pharmacist is interested in taking over. Bad news for patients.
Restaurant owners are eyeing this location
In the city center of Lille, competition is very strong. There are many other pharmacies and therefore the prices are driven down. Aurore Tellier failed to tame this context. “The increase in prices, the increase in charges, the drop in attendance, by around 30% since the Covid”, she justifies. The establishment will close permanently in mid-June. Restaurant owners are eyeing this strategic location.
