Please please keep on fighting to stay with us." Another commented: "I hope Wilko will be saved. Lost count of the things I've bought from you." While another added: "I love Wilko, keeping everything crossed for the stores and the staff." The discount chain has 400 shops and employs around 12,000 people. The notice of intent comes as Wilko owners were said to be exploring the sale of the business just last month. Wilko chief executive Mark Jackson confirmed there has been "significant levels of interest" but the business has not yet received an offer. He said: "We'll continue to progress discussions with interested parties with the aim of completing a transaction which preserves the business." What will happen){kind=link}
