I guess they were franchised by SSP, like most other airport outlets.Martin Phillp wrote: ↑Wed 22 May, 2019 02.32KPMG have closed 22 of the 25 restaurants, except for three inside Gatwick Airport.Charlie Wells wrote: ↑Tue 21 May, 2019 11.45 Jamie Oliver's restaurant chain is set to go into administration:

Are they included in the store figures? If so, there are some branches that are so close together that the 'your local Boots pharmacy" strapline is both easily readable and untrue at a certain distance.Martin Phillp wrote: ↑Tue 28 May, 2019 22.45 I wouldn't be surprised if Croydon Whitgift Centre is on that list, it's due to go when the centre is demolished for the new Westfield development. There's another in the neighbouring Centrale. Most shops in the Whitgift have another in the Centrale to ensure a presence in town.
The ones that I'd be concerned about are the smaller Boots chemists which are largely used for prescriptions in small suburban or rural areas.
No idea about the store figures, but Centrale is also a pharmacy. What I also didn't realise is that there's another close by near to East Croydon station, presumably to serve commuter traffic and the nearby Boxpark. There's also an out of town Boots open until midnight on the Purley Way next to Ikea, which is again a pharmacy as well.bilky asko wrote: ↑Wed 29 May, 2019 00.10Are they included in the store figures?

Locally, there are three little Boots pharmacies in about 90 seconds walking distance from start to finish.
