“In order to expand the product range, a part of the business plant was purchased. For a long time, we perceive the topic of health as an interesting business opportunity, which is why we have it on the website and in the Alza.cz application as one of the main categories,” said Alza’s press spokesperson Eliška Čeřovská.
At the moment, according to her, it is, for example, dietary supplements or sports nutrition. “To further expand the offer of contact lenses, dermocosmetics or over-the-counter drugs, we need a pharmacy license. We want to provide our customers with the entire range of products in the field of health,” added spokeswoman Alzy.
