About the Company
Merz Apothecary is a 150-year-old retail pharmacy and boutique in Chicago, selling unique, natural and hard-to-find health and personal care products from around the world. Smallflower is our e-commerce store, which allows us to bring our expertise and more than 14,000 items to people around the world. Smallflower is also a top-tier Amazon marketplace seller and private label herb and tea brand, Smallflower Herbs & Teas. In 2014, we launched Q Brothers, our private label men's grooming brand. In 2021, we further expanded our repertoire into private label brands and acquired KOBO Candles, a collection of elegant and eclectic home scents hailing from upstate New York. We moved manufacturing and operations from New York into our warehouse space in Chicago in the summer of 2022. All of these brands together make up our bustling, family-owned business, with a decidedly non-corporate work atmosphere on Chicago's North Side (Lincoln Square).
