More than a third of post offices located within TG Jones stores are slated for closure by early 2027, a move that could leave some communities without essential services. Of the 180 post offices the chain operated before its acquisition by Modella, 36 have already shut this year, with an additional 34 set to close by early 2027. This wave of closures is part of a broader restructuring by Modella, which acquired the chain formerly known as WH Smith last year.
