該公司由[[約翰·博特]]（John Boot）創立於1849年，本來只是一家藥店。1860年約翰去世之後，由其子杰西·博特（Jesse Boot）和其遺孀繼續運營<ref>Viceira, L. M., & Mitusui, A. M. (2003) Pension Policy at The Boots Company PLC, Harvard Business Review, Havard Business School, 27 August 2003</ref>。1883年博特公司（Boot and Co. Ltd）成立，1888年改稱“Boots Pure Drug Company Ltd” 。1920年傑西將其賣給美國的聯合藥品公司（United Drug Company，今[[雷氏制药]]）。但由於[[大蕭條]]爆發，聯合藥品公司又在1933年將該公司賣了回去。創始人約翰·博特的孫子[[第2代特倫特男爵約翰·博特]]繼續領導該公司<ref>'Interwar retail internationalization: Boots under American ownership', ''[[The International Review of Retail Distribution and Consumer Research]]'', 7(2), 1997</ref>。
