Boots is reportedly set to close 300 UK pharmacies within the next year. According to reports, the retailer will close stores in close proximity to each other.
The announcement, from the Nottingham-headquartered company, comes in an effort to "consolidate" the business, reports suggest, meaning there will be 1,900 branches left across the UK from a base of 2,200. It is currently unknown which specific UK stores will be shut down.
According to reports, the move will reduce the chain's portfolio from around 2,200 to just 1,900. Boots employs more than 52,000 people, but the closures are not expected to lead to redundancies.
