Boots is one of the most iconic health and beauty retail brands in the world, with a legacy that spans over 170 years. Originating in the United Kingdom, Boots is widely recognized for its expansive range of pharmacy, health, skincare, cosmetics, and wellness products, as well as its customer-first approach to healthcare and retail innovation.
Today, Boots operates over 2,200 stores in the UK alone, and has a growing international presence, including successful stores in Thailand, Indonesia, and the Middle East.
Does Boots Offer Franchising?
Yes — but only selectively and internationally.
Boots does not offer franchises in the UK or Ireland, as those markets are directly operated. However, international franchise opportunities are available, particularly in:
- The Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar)
- Asia (Thailand, Indonesia)
- Europe and other selected global markets
These opportunities are offered through franchise partnerships or joint ventures with strong regional retail operators.
