Boots - the Store

Advantages: Quality products all under one roof
Disadvantages: None

...Everybody's favourite High Street chemist and beauty store! The Boots Company PLC is a chain of high street stores known for their pharmacy and beauty/health products. You can find a Boots on just about every high street in Britain. In fact Boots has approximately 1,500 stores in the UK and abroad. This is the thing I like most about it, you are always guaranteed to find a store wherever you are in the country which makes it easy when you need to buy a repeat brand or just need to pop into one quickly because you have left your toothbrush at home on a weekend away. Boots was founded in Nottingham in 1849 by a gentleman called John Boot, hence the name and turned into a chain by his son Jesse. Boots stores are very easy to spot and recognize on the high street. They include a big blue sign with Boots written on it in cursive white...

Salomon ST80 limited edition

Advantages: Good looks, great price, great overall performance.
Disadvantages: Only available in one size (8.5 UK).

...Last year (2000) Salomon announced the release of two new skates, the ST90 and the ST80. For some reason Salomon decided to scrap production of the ST80 and released the ST70 (a cheaper model) instead. Last summer Salomon decided to sell off all of there sample models of the ST80 so now these samples are available. Since these are sample skates they were only ever made in one size (uk 8.5) so if this size is too large or too small for you then forget about buying these skates as riding wrongly sized skates can be detrimental to the health of your feet. Out of the box these skates look amazing. The cool blue-grey colour used for the boot is definitely the most aesthetically pleasing of on any of the recent Salomon skates. This is highlighted by the white frame which gives the skates a very clean, stylish appearance. These skates...

Boots!

Advantages: You can buy most things here
Disadvantages: Some things are slightly more expensive than other places

...Ive been thinking about writing an op on Boots for months, but theres just a million and one things to say about it, so Ive been holding off. But since Ive been gone for such a long time I might aswell come back with some big ops! "Boots The Chemist" is one of the best known retail names in the UK, providing health & beauty products that "enhance personal wellbeing."

Boots

Advantages: Convenient, loyalty points system, frequent special offers
Disadvantages: Some overpriced items

...Boots is a well-known chemist with stores up and down the country. If you don't have one near you, or find it inconvenient, you can buy products from the website at http://www.boots.com. Boots sell cosmetics, medicines, perfumes, haircare products, even sandwiches, and they are even branching out into areas like Botox, photo-processing, opticians, and laser-eye surgery! I have seen these advertised, but I have not used these services, so I can't comment on them. I have two stores near me, but I'm concentrating on the Trafford Centre branch for now. It is spread out into two floors - the ground floor deals with photo-processing and baby products, ie: nappies, bottles, etc. The upper floor is dedicated almost entirely to cosmetics, haircare products, etc, with a small section for the food (sandwiches, crisps, drinks, etc...

in the boot!

Advantages: Conveniently located and stocks the esentials
Disadvantages: a bit more expensive then other shops

...In almost every shopping centre and walkway you will find a Boots store. Quick history lesson: Boots was established in 1849 by a man named John Boot and his son jesse. The company was sold to an American drug company in the 20's and was sold back to British owners in the 30's. In 1991 Boots bought the company Halfords which sold bicycle, car and camping equipment. Boots later sold Halfords in 2002. The company manufactures its own brand of painkillers, vitamins and other such drugs. Another interesting fact found is that in 2005 Boots was looking into selling sex toys but later abandoned that idea. Would have been interesting popping into your local Boots for some face wash and a vibrator, (*immature giggle*). In general Boots is a convenient store selling many different items stuff from toothpaste to camera films. Some things can be...

Puts the Boot(s) up all the others.

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...I would just like to write a review on Boots, based on the main store in the Centre of Plymouth's main shopping centre. The Boots store I am reviewing is in Drake Circus, which is a fairly new shopping centre in the middle of Plymouth. Boots has had a long prescence in Plymouth, and there has always been a shop within 100 yards or so of where it actually is now from what I can remember. The original place that housed Boots is known locally, by the affectionate name of 'Boots Corner' - but should you wish to find a place in Plymouth, then I can honestly say that if it is in this area then don't be surprised if you hear Boots Corner being talked about. However, I digress and so back to the subject in hand. Once you walk in to Boots, you can be nothing but amazed at the brightness of the shop. There is nothing but white walls and so...

Boots

Advantages: Reliable name & Advantage Points
Disadvantages: Prices can be dearer than Superdrug

...I sometimes check out product prices when I am in Superdrug or some other chemist and notice that prices can sometimes be a bit cheaper than in Boots. I usually do try and do my shopping in Boots for my toiletries as I find it handy when the points on my advantage card add up. The advantage card enables you to get 1 point for every 25 pence that you spend in the store, and quite often they do double or triple point weekends so the points can fairly add up. I save them up for Christmas time and find them handy for buying extras for my son and two nieces. Which is why I usually try to buy my toiletries in Boots as every little helps!! Boots is a well stocked, tidy, well presented store. It's also quite a bright store with Boots emblazened on the front of the store in blue writing with white background. There are many...

BOOTS - NO LONGER JUST "THE CHEMIST"

Advantages: Advantage points; Health and Beauty products; much more
Disadvantages: Can be expensive; poor customer service.

...Boots is one of my favourite retail shops. It is one of the most famous and desired cosmetic chain-stores. BOOTS THE CHEMIST The first thing I discovered when I came to the UK years ago was the Boots store at Heathrow airport in duty-free. I entered the shop and I was very impressed by how organised it was; I found everything - from beauty products, food and even baby clothes; all under the same roof. So I decided then, that, when I'm settled in, I would look for a Boots store and explore more! When I settled in, I hit the shops, looking for Boots stores; I knew later that the shop is called "Boots the Chemist" and I found two of them near where I lived: one was a big store and the other was a lot smaller, with limited shelves and fewer products. Quick information about the store. Boots originally was...
