Which Wilko Stores Will Be Reopening
Don’t expect a carbon copy of the old store. The new Wilko will have a fresh layout, with more focus on homewares and garden essentials. Think of it as Wilko’s cooler, smarter cousin who still remembers to laugh at bad jokes.
The online store is already buzzing, so you can order your favourite peppermint tea or cheap stationery right now. But the real excitement? Walking through those doors again, smelling that clean, lemony scent of the cleaning aisle—pure nostalgia.
And yes, the famous pick-and-mix sweets might be returning, too. Because nothing says “I’ve got my life together” like buying a bag of cola bottles with your shower curtain.

Don’t be shy about asking local traders if they’ve heard anything either—you might pick up a rumour that’s juicier than official news.
And if your city isn’t on the list yet? Don’t despair. The team is watching which communities beg the loudest. So get tweeting, or better yet, write a passionate letter to your local paper. You could be the catalyst for a Wilko resurrection!
