POLAND Drugstore chain Hebe has officially launched its online store. Orders across Poland are delivered by courier. In Warsaw, parcels can also be picked up free of charge also in a chosen Hebe store.

“The launching of our online store is a very important step in the development of the Hebe chain. In this way customers from all over Poland can gain access to our range and regular promotions, trends and new brands, including those that have so far only been available in our brick and mortar stores,” points out Francisco Almeida, the director of e-commerce at Hebe.

Hebe has been operating on the Polish market since 2011, when its first drugstore was opened on Al. Jerozolimskie in Warsaw. The chain has since expanded to 219 stores.
