Boots, a well-known UK pharmacy chain, has a history dating back to 1849 when John Boot opened a herbalist store in Nottingham. Initially focused on affordable herbal remedies, the business expanded under Jesse Boot's leadership, becoming a nationwide chain known for accessible healthcare.

Here's a more detailed look at Boots' history:

1849: John Boot establishes a herbalist store in Nottingham, offering an alternative to traditional medicines at lower prices.

1877: Jesse Boot takes sole control of the business and begins expanding the product range and accessibility of health products.

1883: Boot & Company Ltd. is formed.

1884: Jesse Boot appoints his first qualified pharmacist, Edwin Waring.

1888: The company is renamed Boots Pure Drug Company Ltd.

1892: A flagship department-style store opens in Nottingham, marking a shift towards a more luxurious retail experience.

1960s: Boots develops Ibuprofen (Brufen).

2006: Boots merges with Alliance UniChem to form Alliance Boots.

2014: Walgreens (a US company) completes its acquisition of Alliance Boots, forming Walgreens Boots Alliance.

2025: Walgreens Boots Alliance has been sold to the US private equity firm Sycamore Partners, according to the Guardian.

Boots has evolved from a small herbalist shop to a major international health and beauty retailer, while also playing a significant role in pharmaceutical wholesaling.
