Wilko’s original UK chain is not staying open ; all of the old stores closed after the company collapsed in 2023. The brand has since returned in a new wave of openings , with CDS Superstores (owner of The Range) reopening selected Wilko-branded shops in some locations.

What’s open

The currently reported reopened Wilko locations include:

  • Plymouth, Armada Shopping Centre.
  • Exeter, Guildhall Shopping Centre.
  • Luton, Luton Point / Arndale Centre.
  • St Albans, The Maltings.
  • Rotherham, Parkgate Shopping Park.
  • Poole, Dolphin Centre.
  • Uxbridge, The Pavilions Shopping Centre.

What happened to the old stores

Wilko’s remaining legacy stores were reported to close completely in October 2023, with the final 111 shutting down on the last closure dates announced at the time.
