Several major retailers announced the closure of brick-and-mortar sites in 2023, including the health and beauty giant, Boots.
The company confirmed the loss of 300 UK stores with a timeline stretching to the end of 2023.
Now in 2024, the popular chemist will embark on a wave of new closures, effective almost immediately.
Customers across the country could see their local pharmacy disappear from the high street in a matter of weeks after several sites were earmarked for closure this month.
Boots will be joined by other big-name brands including Tresspass and Sports Direct in shutting physical shops for good in a short time frame.
