The locations of 52 Wilko stores that will close after failing to secure a rescue deal have been revealed by administrators PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

PwC was appointed to oversee the insolvency last month. It announced yesterday that rival retailer B&M was buying up to 51 Wilko stores in a deal worth up to £13m.

But other parts of the business are still for sale.

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.”
