Apteki Mareshki

mareshki.com Apteki Mareshki Bulgaria's largest pharmacy chain by outlet count — 294 pharmacies in 120+ towns (2025), built since 1991–92 by Veselin Mareshki, the Varna businessman, founder of the Volya party and former deputy speaker of parliament. Because Bulgarian law caps one company at 4 pharmacies, the chain runs as dozens of legal entities (owned by his mother Veska, relatives and their children) under the MARESHKI HOLD AD umbrella, franchising the brand from Varnafarma-M and supplied through his own wholesaler Farmnet AD (bought from Actavis in 2010; 2016 revenue 494.8M leva, top-4 drug distributor — together with Sofarma Trading, Phoenix and Sting handling ~80% of national distribution)
