Lloyds Pharmacy outlets in Sainsbury's stores across Hertfordshire will shut down today as part of a nationwide closure of 237 stores.
Back in January, the pharmacy group announced all sites would close by June 13, with the Coreys Mill in Stevenage, St Albans, Welwyn Garden City and Letchworth among those to go.
"In January 2023, Lloyds Pharmacy announced the withdrawal of pharmacy services from all Sainsbury’s stores, to take place throughout 2023," said a Lloyd Pharmacy spokeswoman.
"It can now confirm that any remaining branches within the Sainsbury’s estate will close by June 13, 2023.
"Throughout the process, Lloyds Pharmacy has been committed to helping patients easily find a suitable alternative provision.
"It has kept patients informed of when services from their specific pharmacy will end so that they can transfer their nominations as needed."
Lloyds blamed "changing market conditions" for the closures when they were announced earlier this year, with more than 2,000 jobs at risk across the UK.
