The final six Wilko stores in Yorkshire will close their doors to the public at the beginning of October
Wilko is to shut the doors of its last remaining stores on Sunday, October 8, as the heartbreaking collapse of the historic retailer comes to an end.
The Wilko brand will not disappear entirely from the UK high street after The Range agreed to buy Wilko’s brand, website and intellectual property, with plans to sell the acquired brand in its stores. Wilko was originally founded by James Kemsey Wilkinson in Leicester in 1930 and employed 12,500 workers before its collapse.
Poundland has also announced it will take on the leases of up to 71 Wilko stores. The discount chain will be rebranding the sites as Poundland stores and will give existing Wilko staff "priority" for jobs once the transaction has been completed.
