Boots is a chain-store chemist (a drugstore like Walgreens in the USA) in the United Kingdom (and elsewhere). It has sold rebadged a multitude of cameras and accessories made by many manufacturers, including Braun, Beier, Franka, Houghtons, King and Bencini, going back at least to 1911[1].
Boots was for a large proportion of the twentieth century a popular film retailer and photo processor in the UK, and continues to be so in the digital era. However, more recently, apart from ranges of disposables, most cameras sold by Boots are under the original manufacturer's brand names rather than Boots own.
