Boots store in Diss currently not earmarked for closure

A health and beauty retailer has confirmed their Diss branch will remain open despite plans to shut down around 200 stores in the next 18 months.

The announcement means roughly 8 per cent of Boots high street branches will close.

Bosses could not confirm specific stores earmarked for closure at this stage, saying they had only just started the process.

However, a spokesman said: “We currently do not have any store closures envisaged in Diss, but as you'd expect we always review underperforming stores and seek out opportunities for consolidation.”
