Letchworth Wilko set to close after rescue deal falls through
By Layth Yousif 11th Sep 2023
All 400 Wilko stores across the UK are set to close by early October - including Letchworth's branch.
The GMB union - which represents more than 3,000 Wilko staff - revealed the update during a meeting with the retailer's administrators today, Monday, (September 11).
A rescue deal for the chain - led by HMV owner Doug Putman - fell through failed due to rising costs.
Redundancies now look likely for all 12,500 staff at the business, including our town's store on Eastcheap.
