What happened to the original Wilko?
WILKO fell into administration in August last year before a flurry of potential buyers expressed an interest in buying out the ailing business.
The retailer collapsed after being hit hard by inflationary pressures, competition from rivals and supply chain challenges.
However, a buyer could not be found for the whole business, and in September, the retailer announced all 400 shops would close that same month.
Several rivals swooped in to buy out some of Wilko's store portfolio though, including , which purchased 71 stores.
B&M also agreed to buy up to 51 locations as part of a £13million deal.
The brand had been scooped up by The Range in a £5million deal - meaning the name would live on.
Others have praised the device and said it’s “the best money I have ever spent.”
Wilko’s relaunched an essential service just eight months after scrapping it.
The retailer has re-launched its free, click and collect service, which means shoppers can choose from over 30,000 products and pick-up their wilko.com orders from over 200 locations.
Items ordered through the service will be available to collect with as little as two hours' notice.
