Day Lewis acquires lion’s share of Alliance Boots disposals

Day Lewis pharmacy group has agreed to purchase 31 pharmacies from Alliance Boots, representing 32 per cent of the 96 pharmacies that the Office of Fair Trading ruled should be disposed of following the merger of Boots The Chemists and Alliance UniChem last year (PJ, 5 August 2006, p151).

The acquisition will increase the size of the Day Lewis group to over 160 pharmacies.
Another company set to expand following the merger of Alliance and Boots is the Co-
operative Group, which has agreed to purchase 21 pharmacy branches from Alliance Boots.
