High street brand B&M has agreed to take dozens of Wilko stores, as discussions over a more extensive rescue deal continue.
B&M will purchase 51 Wilko sites from administrators in a £13m deal, it was announced today (September 5).
However, a wider deal to rescue the business appears to be on the rocks.
Wilko, which has its headquarters in Worksop, was found in 1930 and has been an regualr fixture on UK high streets up and down the country, selling homeware and household goods.
