Here’s a reason to visit Colchester (as if you need one!): the town now boasts the UKs first ever drive-through Boots store. Way to go! On the site of a former drive-through McDonalds, the store will apparently act as a pilot scheme and, if it’s successful, similar drive-throughs will be opened up countrywide. According to the manager of the Essex store, ’it works just like a restaurant drive-through. You take your prescription up to the first hatch, put it in, the information is checked and then the items are dispensed at the second window, without leaving the car’. Customers will also be able to take advantage of Boots photo printing and buy make-up and fragrance.
