For over 60 years, Boots has brought the very best of health and beauty to the Bicester community, and today this continues as it opens its doors to a beautiful new store in Bicester Shopping Park.

Located opposite Bicester Village, beauty lovers can now explore a number of new and cult beauty classics, including Clinique, No7, Sleek, XX Revolution, Pixi, Rimmel, Max Factor, L’Oréal, Soap and Glory and e.l.f cosmetics.

At the pharmacy counter, patients can access essential medicines and expert advice, and the pharmacy team will soon provide Winter Flu, HPV, Chickenpox and travel vaccinations.

To help provide a safer shopping experience, customers will also find Perspex screens on all counters, tills and self-checkout areas; hand sanitising stations; clear signage to help maintain a two-metre distance; and upgraded PPE for colleagues.

From health and beauty to sustainability, Boots brand new store gives eco-conscious customers the chance to refill their water bottles on the go with its very own Rehydration Station. It also uses unbleached brown paper carrier bags, as standard.

For complete convenience, Boots Bicester Shopping Park offers extended opening hours and a Click & Collect service. Customers will also soon be able to make the most of Boots Photo services in partnership with CEWE, Europe’s largest photo printing specialist.

Fiona Holland-Berry, Store Manager, Boots Bicester Shopping Park, said: “Bicester has always been a popular shopping destination for people across the country, so we are very excited to welcome customers into our new Bicester Shopping Park store, which offers a great selection of beauty, health and wellness products and services.”

“The new store has created 15 new and permanent jobs, so not only are we looking after the health and wellbeing of the local community, but we are also having a positive impact on the local economy.”
