Health and beauty group Alliance Boots is testing a new in-store spa concept called UR Beautiful within its UK-based Boots health, beauty and pharmacy outlets.
The first UR Beautiful spa opened in the Boots in Kingston, Surrey in October this year and a further 20 spas are planned.
Alliance Boots – which was formed through a 2006 merger between Alliance UniChem and Boots Group – operates in more than 15 countries across the world.
The group has a total of 3,100 retail outlets, of which 2,800 have a pharmacy, and employs an estimated 100,000 people.
