Not a high street rebrand, but Lovefilm Instant is (finally) becoming Amazon Prime Instant Video next week - here's a Guardian article.

Wilkinson has shortened it's name to Wilko. The branch my mum works at got new signage yesterday and a print advert in today's Sun newspaper only uses the shortened version of the name.

Natwest in Cardiff has been rebranded "Natwest Cymru" with practically identical signage to before. What's that all about?

Wimpy Caerphilly in narrow escape as fire guts shop two doors down.

Old colour scheme still I notice....

The only Wimpy I know baring the current branding is in a relatively modern food hall in Doncaster.

That one closed down a while back, believe it was sometime in 2012 and was only open a couple of years.

Shows how often I go to Doncaster. Seemed like a sitting duck to me even then.

I'm far from a regular visitor myself so didn't see it much - think there's a fish and chip shop there now. The few times I saw it it was always empty, I guess the problem was it was surrounded by KFC, Subway and the like so a brand like Wimpy stood little chance of getting business.

There was a new-old-branded one at a service station on the M5 near Bridgwater / Taunton Deane not that long ago. It's now a "Great Burger Company" or such like.

I think Roadchef used to have an franchise agreement with them. They also had "wimpy chicken" at Tibshelf on the M1.
