John Menzies plc
 PROFILE
Retailer nevermore, quoth John Menzies. The sale of the John Menzies chain of 230-plus bookstores to W.H. Smith marked the beginning of the end for the firm's retailing ventures. Distribution now accounts for nearly 90% of sales and includes John Menzies Wholesale, a distributor of news and magazines; Total Home Entertainment (THE), a wholesaler of music, video, books, and multimedia products; and THE Games, a distributor of Nintendo products. Menzies Transport Services provides airport services, including air cargo handling and security services, for over 40 airlines. John Menzies plans to sell its remaining retail chain, Early Learning Centre, which sells toys and games for preschoolers.
