WHSmith announces a string of UK-wide store closures – see if your local is affected

WHSmith is set to close many of its branches in 2025, following from a slate of closures last year. Most of the outgoing locations can be found on UK highstreets, as the retailer moves to open new stores in more profitable locations.

Bosses previously announced they would be shutting 20 stores annually from 2023 to 2026. However, they also plan to open 90 stores over the same period, focusing on locations like airports, railways stations and motorway service stations.
