Around 2,000 jobs are at risk, with Lloyds Pharmacy set to close all 237 branches located inside Sainsbury’s stores on Tuesday.

It has been widely reported that the chemist chain has accelerated its plan and all shops will shut immediately, having previously been planned as a gradual transition.

Previously, owners had blamed “changing market conditions” for the closures.

A spokesperson from Lloyds Pharmacy told Pharmacy Business: “In January 2023, Lloyds Pharmacy announced the withdrawal of pharmacy services from all Sainsbury’s stores, to take place throughout 2023.

"It can now confirm that any remaining branches within the Sainsbury’s estate will close by June 13, 2023.

“We will work with them to ensure customers are clear on how they can access an alternative pharmacy provision to meet their needs.

“It has kept patients informed of when services from their specific pharmacy will end so that they can transfer their nominations as needed.”

Is Lloyds Pharmacy closing?

While Lloyds will shut its 237 outlets inside Sainsbury’s, it will not be closing entirely.

There are still hundreds of Lloyds standalone shops in and around the UK, and the Lloyds website can be used for product orders and more information.

However, some of the individual stores have closed in recent months.

Who owns Lloyds Pharmacy?

In April 2022, Aurelius, a multinational private equity firm, purchased Lloyds Pharmacy’s parent company McKesson UK. At this point, major restructuring plans were announced to transform the country’s second-largest chain of chemists behind Boots.

Little more about the plans has been announced. Lloyds’s model is based around pharmacy products rather than the beauty or cosmetics offered by Boots and Superdrug.
