WHSmith (also written as WH Smith) and Chester Post Office in 5-7 Foregate Street. In March 2025, WHSmith announced that it was selling its high street business to Modella Capital. The stores are expected to be rebranded to TGJones, whilst the current operator retains the WHSmith brand for its travel business. Following concerns from the Communication Workers Union (CWU), representing Post Office and Royal Mail staff, that the sale may cause "postal deserts" given the large proportion of branches inside WHSmith stores, Modella insist they plan to make few changes, retaining Post Offices and Toys "R" Us sections within shops.
