. 1 More Wilko stores are shutting their doors for good Credit: Rex Wilko fell into administration on August 10 and since then there has been a flurry of potential buyers expressing interest. This morning (September 13), The Sun exclusively revealed that The Range is expected to be announced as the buyer of the Wilko brand. The Range has plans to sell Wilko branded goods at its own discount stores as well as possibly keeping its website. While Poundland swooped in to snap up 71 Wilko stores and said former workers will be first in line for new jobs. However, the bargain brand plans to turn these branches into new Poundland stores, which means Wilko stores will still be closing for good. All of Wilko's 400 stores across the UK will close by the beginning of October, which means redundancy is very likely for all 12,500 workers. Some stores have already closed while others are set to close later this week, over the weekend and then into the following week. We've got the full list of 28 Wilko stores shutting for good tomorrow, September 14.
