Retailer WH Smith to be wiped off UK high streets soon following sale
British books and stationery giant WH Smith will sell 480 retail outlets to Modella Capital, the owner of Hobbycraft, in a deal worth approximately £76m (€91.2m). The Swindon-centred brand, which has been trading since 1792, will subsequently vanish from UK high streets soon. Several stores in shopping centres and retail parks will be acquired as well, although the timeline for the transition is not yet published
