Superdrug is temporarily closing several of its UK stores.
The health and beauty retailer had kept all its shops open during the current lockdowns, as they are classed by the government as "essential".
But this week, a number of stores announced they would close after Saturday for a temporary period.
The retailer has more than 60 stores across Scotland.
A Superdrug spokesperson said: "Superdrug will be placing a small proportion of stores into temporary hibernation, focusing on keeping stores open that are critical to supporting communities."
Pharmacy stores and nurse clinics will remain open so that customers can still access prescriptions.
"The safety and wellbeing of our colleagues and customers is our primary concern and where we remain open we continue to provide the additional safety measures we have had in place since March to ensure our stores are Covid-secure and we can continue to meet the essential product and healthcare needs of communities across the country," read the statement.
"While stores remain open, we would encourage customers to shop online where possible to reduce the need for a physical visit to store," added the spokesperson.
"If customers are in urgent need, they can use our same-day courier service operating from over 300 stores that delivers products from store to door.”
