Share your memories of WH Smith

The 233-year-old brand, WH Smith, is to sell its 480 retail stores to the Hobbycraft owner, Modella Capital.

The high street business, which employs 5,000 staff, will disappear from the high street after a “short transitional period” but will retain its brand for its travel shops. The other retail stores will be rebranded as TGJones.

We would like to hear your memories of WH Smith and what it means to you. We’re also interested in hearing from anyone who works for the retail store, and what the sale might mean for you.
