As of now, 16 stores are confirmed for closure in the new year
Boots is set to shut more stores in the coming months to reduce its portfolio from around 2,200 to 1,900 as part of cost-cutting plans.
The pharmacy giant and chemist retailer announced in June that it would close 300 of its branches throughout the UK over the next 12 months, and has been slowly revealing the branches marked for closure.
After closing 20 stores this year, the company has now marked several shops for closure in 2024, with more expected to be announced later in the year.
