The last Wilko store is to close on Sunday October 8 as the collapse of the historic retailer comes to an end.

The retailer, which went into administration last month, will shut its final one of its 111 stores in early October as part of the final phase of closures, administrators for PwC said.

The Wilko brand will not disappear entirely from the UK high street after The Range agreed to buy Wilko’s brand, website and intellectual property, with plans to sell the acquired brand in its stores.

The hardware and furnishings retailer was originally founded by James Kemsey Wilkinson in Leicester in 1930 and employed 12,500 workers before its collapse.
