An ex-Wilko store in Eccles is set to open up this Saturday (September 30) as a new Poundland.
The upcoming Poundland replaces the previous Wilko store at The Mall on Church Street in Eccles.
Poundland tweeted: “We’re already recruiting a number of former Wilko colleagues to help us open these stores. We’re prioritising them for these roles and we’re still encouraging applications for these or other locations.
“Of course we’re not yet in a position to offer our fullest ranges in these stores, but we’ve moved quickly to get them open. That’s because we know customers & communities will appreciate a store that’s trading & employing local people, to one that’s got the lights off.”
Poundland have further arranged to re-open nine other ex-Wilko stores in England as their own.
A New Wilko Update
On Saturday morning we open 10 former Wilko stores as Poundlands.
Those new stores can be found in Stafford, Nelson, Barking, Stockport, Eccles, Leigh, Southport, Maidenhead, Jarrow and Scunthorpe. 1/6
