Eight more Wilko stores to shut in Greater Manchester following rescue collapse

Over 100 Wilko stores are expected to shut next week, including eight from Greater Manchester, after attempts to secure deals to rescue the retailer failed.

The collapsed high street chain announced it would be closing the first 52 of its locations this week, but has now been forced to close a further 124 more stores next week, marking the beginning of the end for Wilko.

Thousands of its shop and warehouse staff members will lose their jobs with support centre staff and administrators now also confirmed among them.

Wilko rivals B&M agreed to purchase 51 Wilko stores in a £13 million deal, but the locations will not be run under the Wilko brand, it is understood. The exact store locations are yet to be revealed.

The eight Greater Manchester stores set to close next week:
