Waitrose And Boots Scale Back Partnership

After signing a deal to sell each other’s goods in March 2010, the two high street retailers have announced plans to scale back their partnership. Waitrose has revealed that it will begin phasing out Boots-branded products from this month. However, Alliance Boots will continue its trial of stocking Waitrose food products in 34 of its stores as originally planned.
