Everyday home and garden retailer will open doors to hardworking families this March
Wilko recently announced that it was to launch a concept store in Rotherham, and is today confirming that the opening date will be Good Friday, 29th March 2024 at 9am. The store has already recruited a third of its team from among former wilko employees, who received prioritised interviews. Further roles are available, and those interested in roles at the store can apply via the jobs page here.
The new store, located on the site of the former wilko business at Parkgate Shopping Park, will offer shoppers everything they need to get all their home and garden jobs done - wilko-brand products that simply help, alongside well-known brands, and self-service terminals that allow shoppers to browse and order from the 100,000 items available via wilko.com.
This launch takes the business to five concept stores nationally, and this initial roll-out precedes a programme of further store openings that will continue throughout this year, and for the first time in the brand’s history, see wilko stores arrive Northern Ireland’s high streets.
CEO of CDS Superstores, trading as wilko and The Range, Alex Simpkin said; “It’s clear that there’s a huge love for wilko and we’re proud that store doors will reopen in Rotherham very soon.
“We’re also glad to be bringing employment opportunities to the area, and for helping local families and communities to have easy access to all the everyday home and garden items they need once again.”
