^The Name will only exist in the Travel stores only, Time will tell just how good a move it will be for the stores they bought.

For me personally it is mixture of excitement and sadness. Sadness in seeing the WH Smith name disappearing from what is an irrevocably changed High Street landscape in this country after over 200 years. I like many will have fond memories of visiting WH Smith when young for a good many reasons. Add in to that the store where I work in, was recently saved from closing, I just hope we are not put in that position again with regards to the new ownership.

On the Excitement side once we change ovr We'll all be wondering what new stock will be like. But there is also a thought that the Government needs to step in and protect what HIgh Street British brand names are left from disappearing for ever, so that any takeover deals include that any new owner buying a British Brand on the High Street has to continue trading in that name.
