Two TG Jones stores in Wiltshire could be caught in a major shake-up by the retailer with concerns being raised over the future of the Post Office services they provide.
TG Jones – formerly WH Smith – has stores in Trowbridge and Warminster, both of which have Post Office desks inside.
The retailer recently announced it could close more than 150 stores as part of a restructuring of the business.
Staff at the Trowbridge store have expressed concern about its future and expect to hear more about possible closures next week.
The store's self-service checkouts have already been removed.
TG Jones also operates a shop and Post Office in the Three Horseshoes Walk shopping centre in Warminster.
The uncertainty has raised questions over what would happen to the Post Office services if either store closes, including access to postage and banking services and whether the branches could be relocated.
The Post Office has been contacted for comment.
Modella Capital, which owns TG Jones, has also been approached for comment.
Several TG Jones branches have already shut or been confirmed for closure, including the popular store in Bath.
It is estimated that around 5,000 employees could be affected by future restructuring decisions.
TG Jones entered 2026 under increasing financial pressure as the retailer attempted to stabilise its high street operations following its separation from the WHSmith brand.
The company has cited lower footfall and rising costs among the reasons behind the restructuring.
It has also faced confusion over its rebrand, with some customers struggling to recognise TG Jones after the WHSmith name disappeared from its stores.
The restructuring plan introduced by Modella Capital is intended to reduce the financial pressures facing the retailer and reshape the business into a smaller and more sustainable chain.
