C+D reported in January that the independent group had bought three Lloydspharmacies in Dudley – part of the 190 “commercially unviable” branches where the multiple announced in October 2017 it would cease trading.

Walsall-based Jhoots Pharmacy has listed all 28 of the latest batch of former Lloydspharmacies on its website, with the acquisition bringing its total number of branches up to 98.

Lloydspharmacy has since confirmed to C+D that these 28 stores are among its 190 “unviable” branches.
