CDS Superstores said the first two standalone Wilko ‘concept stores’ will be opened in Plymouth and Exeter.
The parent company of The Range, which also snapped up Wilko’s website and intellectual property following the discount chain’s administration, said it will open five shops before Christmas.
It comes just weeks after Wilko shut the final stores from the collapse of its 400-strong estate across the UK, leading to the redundancy of almost all its 12,500 workers.Administrators from PwC ultimately sold a raft of Wilko’s assets in order to help pay off its outstanding debts after failing to secure a rescue deal for the entirety of the 93-year-old retail chain.CDS said it plans to roll out more Wilko stores in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2024.
