The Gadget Shop
The Gadget Shop was purchased by The Entertainer (Amersham) Ltd. from their administrators in June 2005, nearly 2 months since their retail stores and website were closed. The property that changed hands is unknown, but some stores were sold but unable to open, see the beliefs section below. The website reopened in October 2005, and seemed to be selling very much the same as what they were selling before the change of hands, minus products deemed unsuitable.
On 7 September 2010, The Gadget Shop was bought by WH Smith.

Famous quotes containing the words gadget and/or shop:
“A new gadget that lasts only five minutes is worth more than an immortal work that bores everyone.”
—Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
“A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them. Everything with them is done as though for sale, and they naturally have in view the greatest possible benefit, profit and that end of the stuff that will make the best show.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
