In the 1920s the company was bought by Alfred Button & Sons but retained the trading name Holland & Barrett. Over the years the business has changed hands several times and in 1970, Holland & Barrett was acquired by Booker McConnell. Later Heath & Heather Stores was also received by Booker McConnell who was later renamed Holland & Barrett.
