THE name WH Smith, a staple of UK town centres since the Victorian era, is set to disappear from the High Street after the firm agreed to sell its shops to Hobbycraft-owner Modella Capital reports the BBC.
The new owner has said it will keep the Post Office outlets that operate in many branches, but will rebrand the High Street chain as TGJones.
The WH Smith name is not being sold and will still be used at the airport, railway station and hospital outlets that are also not for sale.
Modella Capital will take over 480 stores in retail parks, shopping centres and on High Streets including 5,000 staff.
