Boots invests in small stores

Boots Group announced a £400m investment programme this week. Proceeds from the sale of Boots Healthcare International will be used to invest in 700 smaller stores and build a £70m warehouse in Nottingham. Its 17 regional warehouses will be closed and replaced with lorry docking facilities. The company expects the changes to lead to 2,250 jobs being lost by the end of the three-year investment programme.
