Boots is set to close 300 branches across the UK.
The pharmacy and giant has announced the closure of the stores over the next 12 months, with four having already been shut down since the start of this year. The exact locations of sites earmarked for closure have not yet been made clear.
The MirrorOnline reports that the move will reduce the chain's portfolio from around 2,200 to just 1,900. Boots employs over 52,000 people, but the closures are not expected to lead to redundancies.
