Franchise Concept & Key Figures

Franchising details

Travelers’ who are always on the move are always looking for ways to occupy their time away. Whether in the airport while waiting for their flight or in the plane itself, they have very little time to browse and would rather purchase food, drinks, and read materials inside.

This is where WHSmith Local comes in. As the UK’s most popular bookseller, stationer, and news agent, we want to build on that position.

We are aiming to become the top retailer in convenience, books, and news for the world’s travelling customers. To achieve this goal, we are opening our doors to new franchisees.
