mirror.co.ukBoots is closing 60 of its least-used stores and redeploying pharmacists to busy ones. The high street chain said most of those affected would be in ares such as airports and retail parks where there are almost no customers at the moment. "We need to make sure that we have enough colleagues playing their vital role where it’s currently most needed and that we can send home those colleagues who are working in stores that are not busy.
To achieve this, we are temporarily closing a small number of stores that are very quiet at this time," Boots said in a statement.
Stores will be closed by Wednesday, 15 April. Boots added it has more than 2,400 branches across the UK, and customers can find their nearest ones by visiting Boots.com.
