Press release

Migros and Zur Rose

Opening of the first Zur Rose shop-in-shop pharmacy in
a Migros branch

From today, on Marktgasse in Bern, Migros Aare will be operating the first
branch with a Zur Rose shop-in-shop pharmacy. Customers can now conveniently
combine their shopping at Migros with the purchase of pharmaceuticals and at the
same time also collect Cumulus points. The compact pharmacy offers a
comprehensive range of pharmacy goods at attractive prices.

Both Migros and Zur Rose are committed to the health of the Swiss population.
For Migros this cooperative venture is another building block in its iMpuls
health initiative. The shop-in-shop pharmacy complies with the brand image of
Zur Rose and stands out from the remaining retail area. It is located near to
Migros' own cosmetics and health range. The compact pharmacy takes up around 50
square metres of floor space.

Operated by Zur Rose specialists
A team made up of pharmacists and pharmacy assistants from Zur Rose is
responsible for running the shop-in-shop pharmacy. The offering includes a
comprehensive range of pharmacy goods, including both prescription and
non-prescription (OTC) drugs as well as selected cosmetics and health products.
The specialist staff ensure the provision of competent advice and offer
additional services such as travel and vaccination advice, as well as blood
pressure measurement.

Multi-channel shopping at attractive prices
The opening hours of the shop-in-shop pharmacy match those of the Marktgasse
branch. Multi-channel shopping is possible: Products can be ordered online,
collected from the branch or of course delivered at home. The customers benefit
from attractive prices: The same favourable conditions apply in the shop-in-shop
pharmacy as in the Zur Rose mail-order pharmacy. Prescription drugs are on
average 11 to 12 percent cheaper in the Zur Rose pharmacy than in other
pharmacies. The items are paid for in the shop-in-shop pharmacy, with Migros
customers also able to collect Cumulus points for their purchases.

The shop-in-shop pharmacy on Bern's Marktgasse is a pilot store. If this very
promising concept is a success, more shop-in-shop pharmacies are soon to follow
in other Migros branches.
