Retailer WH Smith has bought a raft of former Dixons Travel stores in airports as it expands its U.S. InMotion tech and accessories business into the UK.

The group said it bought 18 stores, including 17 Dixons Travel stores, at sites including major UK airports London Heathrow, London Stansted, Manchester, London Luton, Birmingham, and East Midlands, which will deliver sales of around £60 million ($83 million) a year.
