TG Jones Store in York Closes After Decades of Operation
What happened
The TG Jones store at 39-41 Coney Street in York closed on October 19, following weeks of winding down the former WHSmith store that occupied the site for decades. The closure was confirmed on September 2, and the Post Office inside the location closed on October 14. On the final day, the store was selling fixtures and fittings, with items marked at £1 or less.
Why it matters
The closure of this long-standing high-street institution in York affects the local retail landscape. TG Jones confirmed that its Monks Cross retail park store remains open, but the Coney Street location is permanently closing.
