The popular chain, which has stores in Clydebank, Hamilton and Motherwell, went into administration last month. Staff at Clydebank were previously told last week they would lose their job due to closures.
The popular chain, which runs more than 400 branches across the UK, went into administration last month. There are three stores just outside Glasgow in Clydebank, Hamilton and Motherwell.Billionare Doug Putman, the owner of HMV, planned to keep up to 300 Wilko shops open, but his bid failed amid rising costs. It leaves more than 10,000 workers' futures of the business's 12,500 workers at risk.
"We had financing in place and received the full support of PwC, Wilko management and staff representatives, which we are deeply thankful for considering what a challenging time it has been for them. Other high street chains including The Range and Home Bargains have also reportedly signalled their interest over potentially buying the Wilko brand or stores.Wilko has already announced a £13 million deal to sell 51 shops to B&M, although the rival discounter has not agreed to take on Wilko workers as part of the deal.
