“In the near future we will reach 220-225 pharmacies,” said Wencz, who started his mandate at Dona in December.
“If there will be interesting investment opportunities, shareholders will seize them, but … apart from sound, hopefully double-digit growth, we want to bring our existing pharmacies (recently opened ones – e.n.) at normal parameters.”
The pharmacy chain had a turnover of EUR170 million in 2011 (according to Wencz’s estimates) and ended the year with 212 units. This makes Dona one of the largest drug retailers on the Romanian market, competing against Sensiblu, Catena, Ropharma and Help Net.
