A game changer, Wilko, had faced tough times when it fell into administration last August, causing concern for its loyal customers. However, the beloved retailer has made a strong comeback and continues to bring good news for shoppers. The latest development being that orders can now be delivered faster than ever before.
Aside from the highly anticipated opening of their seventh branch in Uxbridge, west London on November 22nd, Wilko has also announced an exciting partnership with Deliveroo. This move aims to make the brand more accessible to customers by offering delivery services in as little as 25 minutes. A wide range of products, from seeds to cleaning supplies, will be available at the touch of a button.
In a statement, CEO of CDS Superstores, Alex Simpkin, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating that it will make Wilko "so much more accessible" for customers and allow them to be reached quicker. On the other hand, Deliveroo's chief operating officer, Eric French, also shared his excitement for the new launch, stating that customers value the convenience of having the high street brought to their doorstep.
Deliveroo has previously partnered with other high-street favorites, such as Iceland, Boots, and B&Q. As for Wilko, their first 10 stores will offer rapid delivery through the Deliveroo app, including locations in Edinburgh, Bristol, Nottingham, and more. This marks Wilko's first-ever on-demand delivery service, with plans for more store openings in the future.
The retailer's slow and steady return to the high street has been welcomed by many, and it is unclear how many more stores will be reopened. However, they have confirmed that another 50 stores will be opened in the coming months, with a goal of up to 300 new stores across the UK.
After being bought by CDS Superstores last year, Wilko reopened three stores in Plymouth, Exeter, and Luton in December. Three more stores have since been reopened, with more in the works for November. This expansion is about bringing Wilko back to the heart of communities and providing quality and value to every corner of the UK.
The news of the upcoming Uxbridge store opening has been met with excitement, as it is expected to boost the local economy. The CEO, Simpkin, states that their expansion is a testament to their commitment to bringing Wilko back stronger and better than ever. The launch day will be filled with fun festivities, including giveaways and prizes for the first customers in line.
