Manchester Wilko stores set to close following administration

Stockport and Harpurhey Wilko stores are among those set to close after the business went into administration.

Wilko has announced that 52 of its shops will shutter for good.

Administrators for the business have made gallant attempts with potential buyers, including discount store B&M which has agreed to buy up to 51 Wilko stores in a £13 million deal.

Wilko has around 400 stores and employed 12,500 people when it went under last week.

Closures including stores in Stockport and Harpurhey, will take place next Tuesday (12) and Thursday (14).

There will be hundreds of job losses affecting warehouse and service staff across various locations.

It added: “Whilst there remains a possibility that this fails to deliver, we are working extremely hard and doing everything we can to help it over the line.”46
