The shelves of Wilko on Brownhills High Street were largely bare on Tuesday, as shoppers roamed the aisles for bargains in the hours before this West Midlands branch of the discount retailer closed its doors for the final time.
There were just a paltry few gummy sweets left on the pick and mix stall – now 50% off – while the remaining goods for sale included a mixture of Halloween decorations, gardening gloves, children’s craft items and dog toys.
