We give our employees training to ensure that they have the greatest possible support to do their work and develop themselves as individuals.

As a leading specialist in beauty, healthy food, sport supplements, health and well-being, we offer the widest ranges in these categories and expert advice. The brand is synonymous with excellent customer service, and we pride ourselves in being a destination discount brand following an Everyday Low Price (“EDLP”) strategy.
 
In 2016, Dis-Chem was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The Group is still managed by its founders, Ivan and Lynette Saltzman being the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director respectively.
 
We have been rated as the country's best pharmacy chain by Professional Management Review and voted as the Best Pharmacy, Best Medical Supply Store and Best Health Store in The Star Your Choice and Pretoria News Readers Survey.
 
In 2020, the Group was recognised as the winners of the Best Pharmacy, Best Health Shop and Best Toiletry Store in The Star’s Readers’ Choice Awards. Furthermore, we were voted as the coolest Health and Beauty Specialist in the 2016/2018 Sunday Times Generation Next Awards.
