Closure dates confirmed for Wilko Hereford and Worcester

The closing dates for local Wilko stores have been confirmed.

Hopes that parts of the chain could be saved were dashed when rescue talks collapsed yesterday.

The retailer has announced 124 more stores which will shut between Sunday September 17 and Thursday September 21.

The chain's remaining stores are all set to shut by early October after administrators failed to secure a deal from any suitor to buy the business.

Worcester will trade for the final time on Sunday.

Stores in Hereford, Cwmbran, Chepstow, Droitwich Spa and Shrewsbury will close on Thursday 21st September.
