Boots sign on red brick wall

Boots recorded an increase in sales in its fourth quarter as lockdown restrictions eased and demand for pharmacy services rose.

Boots’ owner Walgreen Boots Alliance reported like-for-like sales grew by 12.8% to reach £34.3bn in the quarter to August 31.

The retailer’s own sales also rose 15% year on year in the quarter as high street footfall recovered, though they remain below pre-pandemic levels.

Pharmacy sales also increased by 11.4% during the period.
