Wilko closures Full and final list of stores to shut for good after retailer's collapse

List of Wilko outlets to close for good after it collapsed

Early this October, three dates were declared when the homewares retail giant entered into administration, closing its remaining 111 sites for good.

Although most of the sites have already closed down, the list of remaining sites that would be closed in early October was revealed yesterday.

More than 10,000 jobs will be redundant due to the collapse of Wilko.

In September this year, rival retail giant The Range bought Wilko’s brand, websites, and intellectual property, while B&M European Value Retail and Poundland’s owner bought 120 stores.

A deal to buy out 300 shops by HMV owner Doug Putman did not proceed as the talks with administrators PwC failed.

Wilko was founded by James Kemsey in Leicester in the 1930s. Around 12,500 workers were employed by Wilko before it entered administration.
