After a month-long hiatus, the DM drugstore branch in Prague’s Atrium Flora shopping center reopened its doors to eager shoppers. The long-anticipated renovation was accompanied by an irresistible 20% discount on the entire product range, causing a frenzy among bargain hunters.
Our reporters visited the store twice on Monday, witnessing identical scenes of pandemonium each time. Long queues of predominantly female shoppers darted between aisles, emerging with bulging bags. Even those unaware of the reopening couldn’t miss the throngs of customers, many clutching toilet paper as if it were liquid gold.
Inside the store, the atmosphere was electric. Amidst the chaos, our team observed touching moments of humanity – a lost phone returned to the cashier and a mother’s frantic search for her daughter. The store’s occupancy reached levels unseen in years.
Customers were snapping up everything from toiletries to laundry detergents, toothpaste, and even dog food. One woman proudly displayed fifteen cans of dog food, insisting the 20% discount made it worthwhile. This sentiment was echoed by all shoppers we encountered.
The renovated store boasted an expanded floor plan and a wider product range. While our reporters couldn’t vouch for the variety of mascara or toilet bowl cleaners, they noted the shelves were fully stocked and the selection appeared extensive.
Despite the crowd, the atmosphere remained surprisingly calm. Shoppers seemed to agree that the discount was worth the wait. One sexagenarian’s cart was brimming with hygiene products set to last until 2027 – a testament to the day’s exceptional deals.
