Nottingham-headquartered Boots saw a big rise in sales over the past three months as shoppers headed back to UK high streets, with sales of beauty products doing well.
In a trading update US owner Walgreens Boots Alliance said Boots sales grew 13.5 per cent in the three months to May as soaring retail demand offset a slight decline in pharmacy sales.
Like-for-like retail sales were up almost a quarter, driven by its beauty business.
