WILKO fell into administration last month putting the future of its 400 shops and 12,500 workers at risk.<\/p>\n

Since then discount retailer B&M has stepped in to buy some stores but this still leaves many at risk of closure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The chain operates from locations on the high street and more than a dozen retail parks across the country.<\/p>\n

Since the retailer announced it was filing for administration there has been much speculation as to who might step in to save the business.<\/p>\n

It has now been confirmed today, September 5, that discounter B&M has agreed to buy 51 locations in a \u00a313million deal.<\/p>\n

But that leaves the future of hundreds of remaining Wilko stores in doubt as well as thousands of jobs.<\/p>\n

It comes as hundreds of staff at the company's Worksop support centre were made redundant yesterday.<\/p>\n

Further redundancies at the company's Worksop and Newport warehouses are due to start this week.<\/p>\n
