Full list of 47 Wilko stores shutting for good tomorrow and disappearing from the high street forever | The Sun

WILKO is closing another 47 shops for good tomorrow after shutting stores in 37 locations yesterday.

All 400 stores are then expected to close forever in early October.

Administrators said on Tuesday thatĀ 111 more storesĀ will serve customers for a final time next week.

The belovedĀ discounter tumbled into administrationĀ on August 10 after trying and failing to find a backer for the company.

PoundlandĀ has since snapped upĀ up to 71 shops, stating that Wilko workers will be first in the line for newĀ jobs.

The budget retailer will rebrand the stores and have them ready to open in time forĀ ChristmasĀ trading.Ā

Administrators at PwC had already agreed a Ā£13million deal toĀ sell up to 51 Wilko stores to rival B&M.

But sadly, a buyer for the wholeĀ businessĀ couldn't be found and it has since been announced thatĀ all 400 shops will close in the coming weeks.

As a result, thousands ofĀ WilkoĀ employees will be made redundant.

Administrators haveĀ agreed the sale of the retailerā€™s brandĀ name and website toĀ The Range, so the name will live on elsewhere but the shops will soon vanish from the high street for good.
