WHSMTTH stores will disappear from the UK streets after a deal worth 76 million pounds to sell business on Friday.
The group will drop all 480 stores in the city to Modella Capital, which also owns Hobbycraft in the UK, to focus on profitable international retail business, which represents 75 percent of group revenues and 85 percent of trade profits.
The company said on Friday that Whismith stores will be renamed as TG Jones as part of the deal. Group travel stores at airports, train stations and hospitals will continue to circulate under the name whom, which has 233 years.
It is understood that the piece lives in the same deal, the effects of both the high streets in Britain and one of the most prominent in the middle of the clarity-its name derived from William Henry Smith, her younger son.
But FT alphaville, brainworms, could not overcome this brand.
Tgjones … What does it mean? Is it a reference to Thomas George George “TG” former calm It is strange that it ends with the operation of the North Wales newspaper later in life?
Certainly, it cannot be just a mysterious sequence of the first letters and the title designed to simply spread Whsmit with a distinct survival?
Oh:
Tgjones feels a successor worthymith. Jones holds the same feeling of the family and reflects these stores in the heart of everyone.
This is a Modella Capital spokesman announces today’s deal. We asked them more details, and they told us:
Tgjones brand is not an indication of any individual. It is clear that it depends on another familiar nickname (like Whsmit), which will echo with people all over the UK, and we wanted to maintain this feeling of family work.
Intimate.
