I was at the WH.Smith at Southwaite in May and it was really well stocked with magazines (at RRP :P afaik), over-priced food and CDs at a price you would expect from an independant store- not a multi-million corporation.

Only go there if you want a magazine or are suffering from food or music deprevation.

That's true, but I recon that weon't stop it being a success.

If you're stuck on the motorway and need to buy something - a snack for the journey or a magazine to kill time - then this is the place to go. I still wouldn't recommend you visit unless you have to, though.

Further to other comments, all the mags and newspapers in WH Smith at service areas are all sold at RRP, that's something they can't get away from.
A little querk of the system, is that all the mags and news at WH Smith Charnock, are not supplied by WH Smith themselves, they are supplied by Menzies and Dawson news, as WH Smith do not have a distribution contract for that area. So they have to rely on there competitors to supply them with stock, WH Smiths by the short and curlies....
Oh and the staff don't work for WH Smiths they work for Welcome Break, hence why they are on 2p more than minimum wage, think about that the next time you kick off about prices!
They are commited to a 10 year franchise deal, be interesting to see what happens when Welcome Break is sold (very soon)...

I went to WHSmith and bought a Ginsters Cheese and Onion slice from a man. It was nice but there wasn't enough cheese. Less onion, more cheese.
