Boots store closures: Full list of UK towns where stores will close in 2024 - and dates

It has been a staple on the high street for decades and once the go-to shop for all your health and beauty needs. But Boots has announced plans that it will be closing over 300 stores across the UK in 2024 and some have already shut down for good. 

Boots first announced plans to cut down from over 2,000 stores in the UK to just 1,900 in June but not all locations were confirmed. Cosmetic Business reported that Walgreens Boots Alliance said: “Evolving the store estate in this way allows Boots to concentrate its team members where they are needed and focus investment more acutely in individual stores with the ambition of consistently delivering an excellent and reliable service in a fresh and up to date environment.”

The store has said that although stores are closing shoppers should still be within three miles of another Boots store. Staff will allegedly be offered alternative roles in other store locations. The Mirror shared an updated list of towns and dates confirmed so far for 2024.
