Wilko will shut its first group of shops today (Tuesday, September 12) – full list here – as the dramatic collapse of the high street chain continues, with another 38 branches to close on Sunday (September 17).

Administrators from PwC said last week the closures will lead to 1,016 redundancies. It comes as the insolvency experts continue to seek a deal to save as many stores and jobs as possible.

The 90-year-old retailer will close 52 today and Thursday (September 14) before closing another 38 stores on Sunday.

The retailer also announced that a further 124 stores will shut between Sunday, September 17 and Thursday, September 21.

The chain’s remaining stores are all set to shut by early October after administrators failed to secure a deal from any suitor to buy the business.
