Boots announces store closures from January 2024

More store closures are to follow in the New Year after Boots already shut down numerous sites throughout 2023.

In the past year, Boots closed in places like Salford Shopping Centre in Greater Manchester and King William Street in London.

The beloved health and beauty chain is shying away from the British high streets in a move to consolidate the business.

Overall, a total of 300 Boots shops across the country are set to close.

But it’s not the only store that is disappearing from British high streets.

There have been mass store closures from Next, Wilko, Iceland, Clintons and M&S.

It seems the landscape of British high streets is changing at a rapid pace.
