DIS-CHEM OPENS THIRD SHOP IN BOTSWANA
Leading specialists in healthy food, sport supplements, health and well-being, and beauty products, Dis-chem, has opened their third shop in Botswana.
Located at the recently opened The Fields Mall in Gaborone, the new store adds to existing outlets at Airport Junction Mall and Galo Mall in Francistown.
Speaking at the grand opening of the new shop, Dis-chem Country Director, Ephraim Titus, said he was impressed with the rate at which the company is growing in Botswana.
“We are really proud to be increasing our market share and footprint locally. One other thing that humbles me is that we are contributing to reducing unemployment locally, especially among the youth because they constitute the majority of our workforce,” he declared, noting there was ample opportunity for career progression at Dis-chem, with most of their current store managers joining the organisation in lower positions.
“This shows that there is growth in terms of our staff for their career development,” Titus said.
For his part, Store
Manager, Katlego Mokhosoa, stressed they pride themselves on providing a wide range of products as well as excellent customer service.
“Clients demand exceptional service, and that is exactly what Dis-chem offers,” he stated.
Mokhosoa further revealed the three Dis-chem shops are running a special promotion until 14th August, with great savings to be made on over 1,000 products.
Originally founded in South Africa in 1978, Dis-chem Pharmacy is a one-stop retailer that includes a cosmetics side, fast consumer moving goods, health and dispensary segments.
