WHSmith stores underwent a major restructuring when it changed its name to TG Jones in 2025, resulting in all stores across the country changing their names. As part of the restructuring plans, some stores closed or are due to close at a later date.

The TG Jones branch in Peterborough, which is the city’s only store, is is expected to close on January 9, 2027 following a closing down sale. It means the Post Office, which is based inside the store, will close as a result.

A TG Jones spokesperson said: “As we work to secure the long-term future of TG Jones, we have confirmed that our Peterborough shop will close. We know this will be disappointing news for our colleagues, customers, and the local community.

“Our focus now is on supporting those affected and continuing to serve customers throughout the closure period. We would like to thank all of our colleagues for their commitment and the contribution they have made to TG Jones.”
