Health and beauty giant Boots has issued a statement confirming that one of their Nottingham branches will soon close. The Boots store in Commercial Road, Bulwell, will close in August 2022, in a step the company labelled "unfortunate".
There had been rumours in February that the shop was going to close. However, at the time, Nottinghamshire Live was told there would only be a slight reduction of hours at the branch.
Nottingham-based Boots said they had not taken the more recent decision lightly. A Boots UK spokesperson said: "At Boots UK, we continually review our store locations to make sure they are where our customers need us most. It is never a decision we take lightly when looking to close a store.
