Relief in Aying: The St. Andreas pharmacy will remain.

Aying
– Other small towns can only dream of this: their own pharmacy.
This has been the case in Aying for a long time.
And the location of the St. Andreas Pharmacy on Schmiedgasse is secured.
Roland Henneberg, who holds a doctorate, has gone into well-deserved retirement after 42 years and has found a successor in Ines Mansour.
The St. Andreas Pharmacy went into operation in the summer of 1982.
Roland Henneberg (79) was the first pharmacist here; he originally comes from northern Germany.
Until 2014, Henneberg also operated “die Schmiede” as an exhibition space in addition to the pharmacy.
The new owner comes from a family of pharmacists
His successor, the Tunisian-born Ines Mansour, is no stranger here.
“I have been working in the pharmacy in Aying since April 2022 and have been preparing the takeover with all authorities and the responsible institutions since April 2023,” said the 28-year-old.
Mansour comes from a family of pharmacists: “My father studied biology in addition to his pharmacy studies in order to run a medical laboratory in Tunisia.
Two of my three siblings also studied pharmacy.” Ines Mansour moved to Germany in 2020 after completing her pharmacy studies and received her license to practice medicine in Munich in April 2021.
She then worked as a pharmacist in Munich and then in Aying.
She is married and speaks Arabic, French, German and English.
Step by step to a modern, digital pharmacy
The Ayingers are very relieved that their pharmacy is staying.
Seen this way, the handover went smoothly and without any problems.
The new boss sees herself as a “highly motivated, young pharmacist” as a partner “to all customers and the doctors’ practices in my neighborhood”.
For her, it's not just about maintaining the status quo: "As with any change in a mature organization, I will adapt the internal organization and technology step by step to modern digital processes.
I hope that I can help to sustainably improve the health of my customers through my advice.” Of course, she has a lot to do, especially in these weeks.
For example, they have already managed to switch to e-prescriptions in cooperation with doctors' practices.
The young pharmacist is just as annoyed as her customers by the fact that sometimes the necessary medication cannot be obtained in the Ayinger pharmacy, as is the case everywhere in Germany.
She also wants to prepare new services, such as online orders on the website and a messenger service for customers in the extensive community.
