BOOTS is one of the most popular health and beauty retailers on the high street, and shoppers will be keen to know if and when their local branch is closing.<\/strong><\/p>\n The chain previously announced it would be pulling the shutters down on 300 shops over the next year, following a string of closures already in 2023.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The closures are part of\u00a0wider plans that will see the retailer's total shops reduced from 2,200 to 1,900. Below we explain how many Boots stores will close and where.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Boots confirmed that three of its stores closed in spring 2023.<\/p>\n While its store in Holywell, Flintshire closed on August 26. The cosmetics and pharmacy chain said the closures were pre-planned.<\/p>\n It then closed another shop at the beginning of June. Recently Boots announced it will close 300 shops across the country over the next year.<\/p>\n Since then it exclusively revealed to The Sun the exact locations of eight stores that have been confirmed for closure.<\/p>\n A spokesperson for Boots said: "We can confirm that the stores listed are part of the Boots store consolidation programme previously announced. "<\/p>\n All team members from these stores will be offered alternative roles."<\/p>\n In August another two closures were revealed in Coventry and Prudhoe. Boots said it regularly reviews locations "to make sure they are where our customers need us most".<\/p>\n<\/p>\n They said the decision to close stores was not taken lightly.<\/p>\n Here is the full list of stores closing by the end of the year: \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The stores that have already closed in 2023 are as follows:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Boots said in all cases there is an alternative store less than three miles away.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Affected team members have been offered opportunities in other stores in the local area. Boots closed more than 200 stores over an eighteen month period starting in 2019.<\/p>\n This saw roughly eight per cent of Boots high street branches close.<\/p>\n Many of the stores shut because they were loss-making and two-thirds of them were within walking distance of each other.<\/p>\n In 2020, Boots announced 48 opticians were closing with the loss of 4,000 job.
