Map shows full list of Wilko stores across UK after new London branch opens

Wilko made its return to the capital today as it opened a branch Uxbridge.

It’s the seventh Wilko store to launch in the UK and the first in London after the chain went into administration last October.

The two-storey branch, located at the Pavillions Shopping Centre, gifted its very first customer an air fryer, electric fleece throw and festive decorations, while the next 49 received a goody bag ‘of Wilko favourites’.

Other locations that have welcomed Wilko stores over the last 12 months, include Luton, Exeter and Rotherham.

Wilko has also been trading online since October 2023.

Alex Simpkin, EO of CDS Superstores, which now owns Wilko, said: ‘We’re thrilled with the warm welcome we’ve received in Uxbridge today, marking a very positive start to our residence here at The Pavilions. 

‘It’s great to see the local community’s enthusiasm for Wilko’s return, and we’re determined to continue providing quality products at great value prices as even more shoppers visit our Uxbridge store in the coming months.’

Opening in time for Christmas, it is hoped that the new Uxbridge store will provide a boost for the local economy.

As with all of Wilko’s newly-opened chains, the west London store will feature a Click and Collect offering.

The home and garden retailer is planning a further national roll-out over the coming months.

It hopes to open 300 stores over the next five years.

The high street retailer collapsed into administration after battling high rental costs and falling customer numbers.

At the start of last year it introduced a number of cost saving measures butwas unable to make enough difference quickly enough to save the business.
