No.
Most, perhaps all, of the previous guesses have been of a type of shop with many branches across the country. The correct answer also has this quality.

Rob is a lawyer. You have just started a company. Is this something to do with these facts?
Have you been to see a branch of a corporate law chain?

What might RAYC and JDAW have been discussing last night that could cause JDAW to go to a specific type of shop today? Perhaps a shop that sells what Staples and W H Smith sell?
