Wilko visits

Have you been into Wilkos, since their misfortune was published? A silly move I made, was to add some cash to one of their saver cards, so I ought to visit to try to spend it all. I think I saw a 'Sale' notice, on a store I passed a couple of days ago, so I'm unsure if it's like a fire sale in them,

I think someone has put the money up to save them? My mum was saying the staff told her that.

Today is the deadline for offers, I don’t think they will get any that will work. They needed to invest 5 years ago instead of rinsing it paying store managers 25K , doing nothing strategic what the fuck did they expect to happen

Yeah I'd try to spend that before it's not worth anything

They got Hilco involved, "ambulance chasers" who bleed companies dry,tell them to sell exclusively online, take them over, then sell off all assets before saying it is an unprofitable business and winding it up. Have done it with 10's of big retail companies.

That sounds nasty business tactics.

Store looks drab.

Nothing much reduced except tack

They should sell their assets and they should have been leveraging low interest rates to grow and diversify and get with the 21st century - yes online.

Waterstones are doing just fine , selling more books and more physical stores than ever in history.

Not yet, I usually pop in to get the dog treats and gardening bits and bobs there. Hope they don’t close.

Wilko has nothing worth buying in there.
