Whsmith stores will disappear from the UK street streets after a £ 76m contract for selling work on Friday.
The group will transfer all 480 stores in the city centers at Capital Modella, which also owns Hobbycraft in the UK, to focus on its lucrative international business retail business, which makes up 75 percent of group revenue and 85 percent of trading profits.
Whrsmith’s shops will be Rebranard as TG Jones as part of the Agreement, the company announced on Friday. Group travelers at airports, train stations and hospitals will continue to trade under the name Whrsmith, which has a 233-year history.
Understandably, the piece resides on the agreement itself and the implication on British high streets, as well as one of his most visible medium capses-names named by William Henry Smith, the youngest son of his founder.
But Ft Alphaville, the brains, could not cross that rebrand.
Tgjones … what does that mean? Is this a reference to the tranquility of former Everton in the middle of Thomas George “TG” Jones-Koji Surprisingly, he ended up led the newspaper news in the later life??
Surely that could not only be a vague connection of the initials and surnames designed so that it simply evokes whsmith while remains different at the same time?
Uh:
Tgjones feels like a worthy heir to the Whsmith brand. Jones carries the same sense of family and reflects these stores in the heart of all streets of all.
It is a spokesman for Modella Capital, who announces today’s contract. We asked them for more details, and they told us:
Mark Tgjones is not a reference to any individual. Obviously, it is based on another famous surname (like WHSMITH, which will resonate with people throughout the UK, and we wanted to keep that sense of family business.
Hearty.
