WHsmith
With a history spanning back over two centuries, WHSmith is a true icon of the retail industry. Founded as a family-run newsagent in 1792, it has since grown into the world’s first ever retail chain. Today, it boasts over 600 stores spread across the UK’s high streets, as well as more than 600 additional locations at airports, train stations, hospitals, and motorway services. It’s no wonder that the brand has become so ingrained in British culture, establishing itself both as a household name and as one of the UK’s leading retail groups.
