Administrators for Wilko have revealed the locations of 52 stores which will close after failing to secure a rescue deal for the whole business.

None of the branches shutting is in North Yorkshire.

It has four stores in the county, on Stirling Road at Clifton Moor in York; in the Abbey Walk Shopping Centre in Selby; on Northallerton High Street; and in the Balmoral Centre, Scarborough.

Stores in Morley, Leeds and Kirkgate, Wakefield will shut on Tuesday (12 September).

And the Dewsbury and Huddersfield stores will both shut on Thursday, 14 September.

PwC, which was appointed to oversee the insolvency last month, said it remains in talks with parties interested in buying the remaining parts of the business.

It comes a day after rival retailer B&M bought up to 51 other Wilko stores in a deal worth up to £13 million.

Administrators added on Wednesday that “it is possible that further store closures may regrettably be necessary”, depending on talks with remaining suitors.

It is understood that HMV owner Doug Putman is still in discussions with PwC over a possible deal to save a significant number of stores.

The raft of closures next week will lead to to 1,016 redundancies, while the company has also announced hundreds of further job losses affecting warehouse and service centre staff.
