January 2024: Boots Store Closures

Posted byAngela LloydPosted inUncategorizedTags:, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

After Boots closed multiple locations in 2023, there will be more closures in the New Year.

A year ago, Boots closed locations on King William Street in London and Salford Shopping Centre in Greater Manchester.

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

All told, 300 Boots stores around the nation are scheduled to close.

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

Many stores, including Next, Wilko, Iceland, Clintons, and M&S, have closed.

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

Boots sites to close in 2024:

  • Cliftonville, Kent (Jan 20)
  • Pemberton, Wigan (Jan 26)
  • Hough Lane, Layland, Lancashire (Jan)
  • Rhos on Sea (Mar)
  • Colwyn Bay (Apr)
  • Caerleon Road, Newport (no specified date)

  • Mannamead Road, Plymouth (no specified date)
  • Claremont Street, Plymouth (no specified date)

  • Church Street, Malvern (Mar 2023)
  • The Port Arcades Shopping Centre, Ellesmere (Mar 2023)

  • Glastonbury (Oct 2023)
  • Uppingham Road, Leicester (Oct 2023)
  • Guildford Road, Woking (Oct 2023)
  • Kings Square, York (Oct 2023)
  • Warminster (Oct 2023)
  • Gorleston, Great Yarmouth (Nov 2023)
  • High Row, Darlington (Nov 2023)
  • Mudge Way, Plymouth (Nov 2023)
  • Mount Pleasant, Exeter (Nov 2023)
  • Kirkby Ashfield (Nov 2023)

Boots online, however, is thriving, especially due to the Big Boots Sale, which promises up to 50 per cent off on products.

There’s a 20 per cent “online only” discount on a few scents, such as Hugo Boss and Gucci.

Additional online-only discounts are available, such as 20 per cent off No7 and other beauty brands.

There are discounts available on vitamins, skincare products, makeup, and electrical beauty equipment.

Standard free delivery is available for orders over £25, or for orders over £15, customers can choose to “click and collect” in-store.

Additionally, Boots and Deliveroo have partnered to enable online shoppers to have their purchases delivered right to their door.

But the workers will be held accountable when everything disappears from our high streets and there is widespread unemployment.

It started with the banks, then post offices, and in a few years, youngsters will be asking, “What were shops, Mum?”.

My vision on life is pretty broad, therefore I like to address specific subjects that intrigue me. Therefore I really appreciate the world of politics, though I have no actual views on who I will vote for, that I will not tell you, so please do not ask! I am like an observation station when it comes to writing, and I simply take the news and make it my own. I have no expectations, I simply love to write, and I know this seems really odd, but I don't get paid for it, I really like what I do and since I am never under any pressure, I constantly find that I write much better, rather than being blanketed under masses of paperwork and articles that I am on a deadline to complete. The chances are, that whilst all other journalists are out there, ripping their hair out, attempting to get their articles completed, I'm simply rambling along at my convenience creating my perfect piece. I guess it must look pretty unpleasant to some of you that I work for nothing, perhaps even brutal. Perhaps I have an obvious disregard for authority, I have no idea, but I would sooner be working for myself, than under somebody else, excuse the pun! Small I maybe, but substantial I will become, eventually. My desk is the most chaotic mess, though surprisingly I know where everything is, and I think that I would be quite unsuited for a desk job. My views on matters vary and I am extremely open-minded to the stuff that I write about, but what I write about is the truth and getting it out there, because the people must be acquainted. Though I am quite entertained by what goes on in the world. My spotlight is mostly to do with politics, though I do write other material as well, but it's essentially politics that I am involved in, and I tend to concentrate my attention on that, however, information is essential. If you have information the possibilities are endless because you are only limited by your own imagination...
