Wilko has launched an “everything must go” sale, with significant discounts on Christmas decorations and Halloween gear months before the seasonal events, as administrators try to secure a rescue deal for the collapsed retailer.
No bidder is expected to take on the entire 400-store chain, which entered administration last week after running short of cash, but several buyers are looking at parcels of stores, and it is hoped that at least part of the chain can be rescued.
