Closure dates confirmed for Wilko stores

Tuesday, 12 September 2023 07:00

The closing dates for local Wilko stores have been confirmed.

Hopes that parts of the chain could be saved were dashed when rescue talks collapsed yesterday.

The retailer has announced 124 more stores which will shut between Sunday September 17 and Thursday September 21.

The chain's remaining stores are all set to shut by early October after administrators failed to secure a deal from any suitor to buy the business.

PwC has confirmed the Wilko store Bletchley will close today and stores in Leighton Buzzard and Bicester will close next Tuesday.

The closure dates for Aylesbury and High Wycombe remain unknown.
