The pharmacy giant has been working through 300 planned closures across the UK.<\/p>\n

Dozens of Boots pharmacy locations have already been axed from British high streets in recent months, with more to follow in 2024.<\/p>\n

In the latest blow to customers who rely on the retailer for their prescriptions and wellbeing services,\u00a0Boots closed yet another branch today.<\/p>\n

Those local to High Row, Darlington will now have to travel further afield for their pharmaceutical needs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all bad news though as the larger Boots health and beauty store will remain open in nearby Northgate.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the retailer confirmed that it would reduce its number of brick-and-mortar sites over a 12-month period.<\/p>\n

Speaking previously to\u00a0Express.co.uk, a spokesperson for Boots reiterated that the removal of 300 stores is essentially about removing overlapping branches rather than axing the brand itself from British high streets.<\/p>\n

The retailer still currently has more than 2,100 health and beauty stores across the UK and claims that an impressive 85 percent of the UK population is within 10 minutes of one of its branches.<\/p>\n
