Our Head Office is based in Midrand, Johannesburg and we have over 150 stores spread across Southern Africa.

We have been rated as the country's best pharmacy chain by Professional Management Review, have been voted as the Best Pharmacy, Best Medical Supply Store and Best Health Store in The Star Your Choice and Pretoria News Readers Survey. We are a recipient of the Leisure Options Readers’ Choice Awards and in 2014, we were voted the best pharmacy brand by Readers Digest SA.

Khulani Creatives: Empowering Gogos with Dis-Chem’s Support 🌟 Since 2020, Dis-Chem has proudly partnered with Khulani Creatives, an income-generation project supporting grandmothers (gogos) in Alexandra Township, Johannesburg. Through this initiative, these resilient women handcraft vibrant, reusable shopping totes, blending style and sustainability with the rich heritage of South Africa. As we continue to celebrate Heritage month, these unique totes reflect the strength and tradition passed down through generations, reminding us of the importance of preserving our cultural legacy. Each tote, lovingly made by our gogos, represents more than just a bag—it’s a symbol of empowerment. With every purchase, you’re helping these grandmothers provide for their families and care for the next generation of South Africans. 👜 Durable, colorful, and socially impactful—Khulani Creatives totes are making a difference, one stitch at a time. Join us in supporting these incredible women. Together, we’re shaping a brighter future. #EmpowermentThroughCraft #KhulaniCreatives #DisChem
