Wilko closures: Full list revealed

Wilko will close 111 shops for good next week ahead of all 400 shutting by early October: Full list revealed

  • Everything you need to know about Wilko store closures over the coming weeks 

Administrators for Wilko have announced a full list of next week’s closures, confirming that 111 more stores will shut up shop for good. 

All of Wilko’s 400-plus stores are set to close by October, which could see around 12,500 staff members lose their jobs. 

Having failed to secure a takeover that would save the business, the high street retailer fell into administration on August 10. 

Administrators at PwC had agreed a £13 deal to sell 51 Wilko stores to B&M and Poundland snapped around 71 shops. 

Yet a buyer couldn’t be found for the entire business and it has since announced that all shops will close in the next few weeks.  

But which stores are preparing to pull down the shutters? Read on to find out when Wilko stores will close next week, including a full list of store closures.

The firm will close 37 stores after trading on Monday September 25, a further 37 on Wednesday September 27 and another 37 on Friday September 29.

The store’s two big warehouses in  Workshop, Nottinghamshire and Newport, Wales, will close on Friday September 15 2023, with the final support centre workers leaving in October 2023. 

Administrators are still in talks over deals to sell store properties, but are shutting down sites after failing to find a suitor who would take them on as Wilko shops and retain their staff.

All of Wilko’s 400 shops will close by early October, according to administrators from PwC. Here is a full list of Wilko store closures next week:
