The retail chain said it had struggled to find a buyer
Roughly 12,000 jobs have been put at risk at Wilko after the chain said it plans to appoint administrators.
Mark Jackson said: "While we can confirm we’ve had a significant level of interest, including indicative offers that we believe would meet all our financial criteria to recapitalise the business, at present. Unfortunately, with this in mind, today we’re having to take the difficult decision to file a NOI.
@GabriellaB_Biz said: "Sad news, I'm a big fan of Wilko." While user stuzi_pants said: "If ever there was an indicator that people are on the bare bones financially then Wilko going into administration surely must be it" Many social media users also pointed out that their local Wilko's shelves have been bare for a long time. @Tolkienista3 said: "I was only in Wilko the other day and I've never seen it so empy...it was always bursting with customers. If it does fold, I for one will really miss it." while @RigsbyMachin said: "Hope Wilko can be saved. Shelves have been empty in my local Thamesemead branch for months.
