WILKO is to shut the doors of its last remaining stores on Sunday October 8 as the collapse of the historic retailer comes to a close.<\/p>\n

The hardware and furnishings retailer tumbled into administration last month after it came under pressure from weak consumer spending and debts to suppliers.<\/p>\n

The retailer will shut its final 111 stores in early October as part of the final phase of closures, administrators for PwC said.<\/p>\n

But B&M and\u00a0Poundland have purchased a handful of stores\u00a0which could reopen in the future.<\/p>\n

The Range last week\u00a0snapped up the Wilko brand, including the name and website, in a \u00a35million deal with\u00a0administrators.<\/p>\n

Now, a message on the Wilko website is promising customers that\u00a0home\u00a0delivery is "returning soon".<\/p>\n
