Allied Pharmacies has finalised a deal to acquire 60 former Jhoots Pharmacy locations across the UK following the collapse of more than 20 companies linked to the Jhoots group entering administration.
Most of the affected branches remain closed, though Allied plans to restore operations and resume essential community pharmacy services. The acquisition underscores ongoing pressures within the pharmacy sector, where years of reduced funding have led to the closure or consolidation of many operators.
Jhoots Healthcare Ltd and Pasab Ltd, which continue to run 21 pharmacies under the Jhoots name, remain unaffected by the administration. Both companies operate independently from the entities that entered insolvency and continue to trade normally.
The deal marks one of the latest consolidations in the UK’s pharmacy landscape, reflecting the growing financial strain on community pharmacies and the need for strategic intervention to maintain local healthcare access.
