King’s Lynn’s Wilko store on New Conduit Street set to shut next week

Lynn’s Wilko store is set to close next week, it has today been revealed.

An update issued on administrators PwC’s website today lists the Lynn shop on New Conduit Street among dozens set to serve customers for a final time on Thursday, September 28.

A spokesperson for the administrators said that Thursday will be the last day of trading, with employment for staff ending the following day.

The high street chain, which entered administration last month, started its closure process last week.

It comes after it was confirmed last week that all of Wilko’s store across the UK would close this year as a rescue deal fell through.

It was reported that all 408 stores would close with the loss of more than 12,000 jobs in early October.
