Jerome Saint-Marc, Wilko’s chief executive said: “Our history is steeped in serving our customers and communities going back to 1930 but there’s no denying the way people shop with us and where they want to shop with us is changing.
“As a business we’re evolving and this includes working with landlords for more favourable terms, as well as looking at locations and store formats."Roger Jenkins, GMB national officer, said: “These closures are devastating for Wilko workers and the communities who use them. “It’s yet another nail in the High Street’s coffin and GMB calls on councils and landlords to review commercial leases and offer lower rents."
Wilko said 11 of the 15 stores have an alternative Wilko within five miles. The retailer has 414 stores across the UK and over 16,000 staff.Brands like Debenhams, Topshop and Carphone Warehouse have all ceased trading since the pandemic started.
Gasps. Reads article with dread. “Phew, my local one not on the list!”
I would say this has been coming for years. Each of our local stores is poorly stocked and many staff are rude. Feel sorry for the few who are always polite.
Well if people stopped being so obsessed with Internet which in quite a few cases of things I've looked at have been more expensive.

'No excuses for universities not to deliver face to face learning' | ITV NewsThe majority of the top 24 universities in the Russell group are reportedly offering 'blended' learning this term. | ITV National News Zahawi is an ignorant government propagandist with too much authority. I’ve had enough of this dangerous talk - this out of control shower of charlatans has to be removed! If there are 'no excuses', does this mean that the Government has *finally* installed proper air filtration in classrooms and lecture theatres? If not, that seems like at least one very good 'excuse'. Online work, online learning, online BS. Seems people ask for protection only when they have to do the chores. They feel perfectly safe while going out to clubs, pubs and stadiums. Lazy bastards
