TG Jones is set to close 19 stores across the UK during September as part of a major restructure.

All WH Smith stores were renamed TG Jones last year (except for travel stores in airports and train stations), after being bought by Modella.

There are currently around 450 TG Jones stores, mostly in the UK, with 4,700 staff.

This is set to be cut drastically after the High Court approved a major restructuring plan back in July.

The plan will see 150 TG Jones stores closed, which could result in the loss of hundreds of jobs.
