About Müller Drogeriemarkt

Müller Ltd. & Co. KG, founded on 5 March 1953 by hairdresser Erwin Franz Müller and headquartered in Ulm (Baden-Württemberg), is a major German family-owned retail chain operating approximately 970 stores across 8–9 European countries. The company employs around 35,000 people and was founded as a hairdresser's shop before expanding into drugstore and general merchandise.

Müller's portfolio comprises approximately 188,000 products including 50,000 drugstore items, 28,000 perfumery items, plus household goods, toys, stationery, books, multimedia (CDs, DVDs, vinyl), natural cosmetics, OTC drugs, health food, fashion accessories, and seasonal items. The chain operates primarily in Germany (582 stores), Austria (108), Switzerland (97), Croatia (95), Hungary (34), Slovenia (26), Spain (18), Slovakia (2), and Liechtenstein (1). Unlike competitors, Müller often sells German-domestic-market products across all countries (similar to parallel importing), making it particularly popular in markets like Croatia. The company is led by General Managers Erwin Müller and Elke Menold and reported revenue of €4.01 billion in 2020.
