Administrators for troubled retailer Wilko have today revealed the locations of 52 stores which will close after failing to secure a rescue deal for the beleaguered high street chain.
PwC, which was appointed to oversee the insolvency last month, said it remains in talks with parties interested in buying the remaining stores the business that haven’t been snapped up by retail rival B&M.
It comes a day after B&M bought up to 51 other Wilko stores in a deal worth an estimated £13million.
Administrators added that ‘it is possible that further store closures may regrettably be necessary’, depending on talks with remaining suitors.
It is understood that HMV owner Doug Putman is still in discussions with PwC over a possible deal to save a significant number of stores.
The raft of closures next week will lead to 1,016 redundancies, while the company has also announced hundreds of further job losses affecting warehouse and service centre staff.
