From a children's room to large production halls with a hundred employees and sales of half a billion CZK a year. This is the story of Dominik Píchal andhis e-shop Grizly.czwhere lovers of quality healthy food, nuts, dried fruit and other goodies will find something to love. He joined Freelo with his team at the beginning of the coronavirus crisis and still manages several departments there.

We want to triple our turnover in three years

Back in 2014, Dominik Píchal was packing and shipping one order a week from his parents' nursery and sauna. Eight years later, together with a team of more than 100 people, he runs his own production, packing and e-shop in large halls , expands abroad, picks up 7,500 orders a week and plans to triple the current turnover in the next 3 years. The success of the Olomouc e-shop Grizly.cz was underlined by the Quality Award in the Food and Beverages category in the Heureka ShopRoku 2021 competition.

We couldn't function with coloured sticky notes on the monitors anymore

A big challenge for the Grizly team recently has been the increase in turnover and the transition from a small family business with two people making decisions to a large organisation with a broad management team.
