Team members working at the stores affected will be made redundant. Rival retailer B&M bought up to 51 other Wilko stores.
Administrators added"it is possible that further store closures may regrettably be necessary", depending on talks with remaining suitors.Edward Williams, joint administrator, said:"In the absence of viable offers for the whole business, very sadly store closures and redundancies of team members from those stores are now necessary.
"The loss of these stores will be felt not only by the team members who served them with such dedication, including through the uncertainty of recent weeks, but also the communities which they have been a part of."
