Private Equity company Modella Capital is who bought #WHSmiths in a deal worth £76 million.
They also bought #Hobbycraft, who I read earlier have been selling kids playsand with asbestos in it but refuse to issue a recall:
Three things the public loathe and fear: Private Equity, Fascism and Asbestos.
Why do we have to put up with this?
Picked up a couple of things from my local #WHSmiths
It's the end of an era 😞
As well as the obligatory buying of Food, Drink, Stationery products & Books in there, I spent many hours as a small kid reading Comics in there, then as a Teenager reading Computer Mags & playing & buying computer games & then as an Adult reading Tech magazines. RIP WH Smith aka WH Smith's aka "I'm just going down to Smith's" 😞 #WHSmith #whsmiths #endofanera
WH Smith name to disappear from High Street after sale
It’s all the end of a slow but very definite fall from grace for #WHSmiths .
I don’t know if TG Jones is an existing brand. I’ve been unable to discern that from searching this morning. All I can say is that I don’t recall having ever heard of it m’self. And it doesn’t sound like many others in the UK have either.
