Frequently asked questions

What is Boots and where do you originate from?

Boots originates from England where we are the leading health and beauty retailer. We were established in 1849 and have 160 years experience in developing fabulous brands designed to help our customers look and feel great.  The company was established by John Boot who opened his first pharmacy store in Nottingham, England – it was his effective remedies, delightful brands and excellent service that led to much success for him and then for his son Jesse when he took over the business in 1877. Since then the business has gone from strength to strength.  Today there are over 1500 Boots stores across Britain.  In the USA our products are available to purchase in Target stores nationwide, in select CVS stores and on-line at Target.com and CVS.com. No7 and Botanics products are also available in Canada through our partnership with Shoppers Drug Mart. Find your nearest Boots store in our store locator.
