Our town centre post office is to reopen elsewhere. They predicted a 6 month wait. So sad. A simple post office can't stay open.

Re: T G Jones closure (was WHSmith)

I think the words 'town center' and 'open elsewhere' tell a story here

As it's run under franchise by TJ Jones whose shop is closing, the Post Office will need to find someone else to take on the franchise. By law, they'll need to advertise the opportunity, then make a decision, perform due diligence, etc.

So the Post Office may well be viable but there's a regulated process to appoint a new franchisor which means a frustrating gap for you.

I'm sure we mentioned TJ Jones closing a while ago now, tried a search but could not find it.

Next to poundland in my hometown. Same crap at 3 times the price, thats whys it's doomed.

WHSmith was the place to be in the 1980s. It had it all, music, computers, software, books, magazines. Its been a gradual decline to 'half price' chocolate, and bic pens.

Most of stuff that people want can now be bought cheaper (although of dubious quality) from places like Amazon, Ebay . . and all the other places flooding the market with cheap tat.
