For UK Filofax Users And General Planning Community - Why The W H Smith Potential High Street Sale Matters

Hello there. Hope you’re feeling well.

In Britain for over a century W H Smith has been a boring staple of the British High Street. It sells books, magazines, newspapers and stationery which includes of course given what this Stack is about, Filofaxs/personal organisers and their refills.

Now before I go on what is important about W H Smith towards towards the planning community here is this. Unless you live in a major city for most places W H Smith is the only shop likely to sell organisers/refills. So if you need either an organiser or a refill quickly it is the only option.

So the news that the board of W H Smith is seeking to sell the high street portion of their business, as well as closing a number of it’s stores in the next few months is important.
