High street pharmacy Boots is to close hundreds of stores up and down the country according to reports. The total number of branches to shut is expected to be around 300 and this will happen across the next year according to The Mirror. Four have already closed their doors since the start of the year.
In its quarterly results, the company said: "Over the next year Boots will continue to consolidate a number of stores in close proximity to each other.
"Evolving the store estate in this way allows Boots to concentrate its team members where they are needed and focus investment more acutely in individual stores with the ambition of consistently delivering an excellent and reliable service in a fresh and up to date environment."
