General Information:

Our store opens its doors in October 1950 At the hands of its Founder Acácio Pinto Pereira, who, having worked as a pharmacy assistant for about 15 years, decided to establish himself in the Drugstore business.

For more than two decades, Drogaria Moderna developed its activity in Praça da Covilhã, having gained its space and quality recognition among the people of Covilhã, either for the quality of service or for the experience of its owner in the preparation of Creams, Lotions, Ointments and others. manipulated for personal and domestic use, which at that time was usual to be sold in pharmacies and drugstores.

Times have changed and the demands and restrictions on the marketing of certain products in the Drugstore business forced Drogaria Moderna to adapt, replacing the sale of manipulated products with the sale of products from specialized manufacturers, while always maintaining the same levels of quality in service and the products it sold.

In the late 90s, its Founder retired, handing over the management of Drogaria Moderna to his son João Paulo Pereira, who since then has been making an effort to keep this store open, which is undoubtedly an ex-libris of traditional trade in Covilhã.
