BOOTS is set to close more shops within days and shoppers "can't understand why".<\/p>\n
It comes after the pharmacy chain previously announced it would be pulling the shutters down on\u00a0300 shops over the next year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The closures are part of\u00a0wider plans\u00a0that will see the retailer's total shops reduced from 2,200 to 1,900.<\/p>\n
When the plans were announced in June,\u00a0Boots had not confirmed\u00a0which stores were set to shut.<\/p>\n
It reported that they would be from sites with multiple shops in one area.<\/p>\n
But over time, the healthy and beauty chain has revealed which shops would be closing for good.<\/p>\n
Two more branches will be closing for good on Friday, October 13 in:<\/p>\n Shoppers have posted on social media reacting to the closure in Leicester,<\/p>\n One person said on Facebook: "I can't understand why this one is closing.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "It's handy and convenient for patients coming out of the doctors to collect their prescription, especially the elderly. Lovely staff as well."<\/p>\n Another said: "When I lived in Netherhall I used this pharmacy a lot.<\/p>\n "It was so convenient for me with the doctors next door.<\/p>\n "The staff were all so helpful and the pharmacy was well organized."<\/p>\n It comes after Boots closed in two other locations last week in:<\/p>\n Other stores that have already closed in 2023 include:<\/p>\n Boots said in all cases there is an alternative store less than three miles away.<\/p>\n The Sun has previously revealed the locations of other Boots closures before the end of the year in:<\/p>\n Affected team members have been offered opportunities in other stores in the local area.<\/p>\n Boots closed more than 200 stores\u00a0over 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,\u00a0Boots announced 48 opticians were closing\u00a0with the loss of 4,000 jobs.<\/p>\n<\/picture>DAMP PROOF <\/span><\/p>\n
