Full list of wilko stores in Derbyshire that are slated to close and date they will stop trading

All wilko stores, 11 of which are in Derbyshire are set to close over the coming weeks, following a rescue deal that collapsed.

Some bidders including Doug Putman, HMV’s billionaire owner had considered keeping the wilko name alive for 300 stores but running it under new operation, however this has not transpired due to ‘rising costs complicating the deal’.

GMB union says wilko will be closing all 400 stores, resulting in likely redundancies for 12,500 staff.

As reported by BBC, six Derbyshire wilko stores have confirmed dates of closure.

We approached the stores but were unable to speak to any staff.

Sharing news on their website, GMB wrote: ‘We are incredibly sorry to have to share the devastating news that PWC have confirmed the previous offer being explored for the sale of hundreds of stores as a going concern has fallen through.

‘There is now no prospect of saving the remaining store estate in its entirety and all wilko stores will close by early October with DCs [distribution centres] to close on Friday, September 15.

‘We share the sorrow and anger of every wilko team member today.’
