MESSAGE FROM BOOTS PLUME AVENUE

Good Afternoon,

I am writing just to share that this store is about to undergo a 4 week refit to incorporate a larger dispensary. During the works, the store will remain operating as normal, there will just be some occasions where there is no access to the shop floor, or we will only be able to serve from the side hatch only.

We will still continue to offer the same services to our patients.

The work is planned to be complete mid December.

Thank you for your support during this time.
