In addition the pharmacy, which sells more than 1,500 different items, also has a variety of baby products like milk formula of the popular brand Lactogen as well as diapers, wipes, juices, among others.

“It is situated in a popular business and shopping area and the prices are competitive,” Mr Mani said, noting that soon consumers will discover how affordable and good the products are.
