Kind of surprised they’ve stayed around as long as they have. As much as they’re facing stiffer competition from discounters on the high street, I bet they’re getting absolutely slaughtered with the emergence of super cheap online shops that can deliver in a day or two.
Other discount retailers with overlapping product ranges like B&M and The Range are probably eating a lot of Wilkos market. They are often cheaper, and seem to have more branches in out of town retail parks which is more convenient for shoppers also visiting the supermarkets. Most Wilkos seem to be in town centres, at least they are in my area.
Online competition probably isn’t helping either though.
Actually find it cheaper than Amazon, even with prime. Amazon just factor delivery into their costs now, so for.low value goods like Wilko sells.tjeybare cheaper…however I go to range or b+m as parking in town center is too expensive.

Aye, a big shame but same story as everywhere with high street shops - “what’s it do that I can’t get on Amazon cheaper?”
