St. Gabriel: Our Way Under the Magnifier

The beginning required courage and determination

It all started with buying a car and renting a small landfill in Počernice. In 2013, we started making our first trips to the stock exchange in Holland, from where we carried flowers in a commercial vehicle. The competition may have been  laugh at us, but we didn't doubt it. From the very beginning, we have forged own path that brought us closer to the goal faster than the competition.

The biggest breakthrough came in 2020, when we closed the original Cash & Carry store in Prague and switched to purely online sales and delivery. This catapulted us to a new level, the competition did not catch up with us and today we are the only wholesale store with an online flower warehouse in the Czech Republic.

How it went in time:

2013 — purchase of the first commercial vehicle and the first trips to Holland for flowers‍

2015 — Acquisition of the first truck

2016 — opening of the first Cash & Carry in Horní Počernice

2017 — launch of our own online platform

2019 — opening of a branch in Brno

2020 — 100% switch to online wholesale → C&C closure

2020 — entry into the Slovak market

2024 — opening of a new Cash & Carry in Horní Počernice

Now St. Gabriel employs over 100 people and has 7 workplaces, which include Cash & Carry Praha, distribution centers in Prague, Brno, Považská Bystrica, Košice, Aalsmeer and Rijnsburg.
