A Boots Pharmacy is set to shut.

The branch in Rainham Shopping Centre will be closing its doors next month.

It is understood it will close on Saturday, March 30.

A staff member posted a message online to let customers know.

She said: “Come in and see the team and I if you’ve got any questions whilst we transition over. Thank you for your service and support.”

The store will continue to dispense prescriptions up until the closing date.

It is understood the independent community pharmacy Jhoots will be taking over.

In June, Boots announced it would shut 300 of its stores across the country over the following year.

The most recent was in Northdown Road, Margate – which closed to customers on Saturday, January 20.

In August last year, two Boots pharmacies shut in Maidstone, forcing patients to find somewhere else for their prescription.

Despite this, Boots say there are no proposed redundancies, with plans to redeploy affected workers elsewhere.
