Wilko will return to the High Street, with the brand’s new owner opening up to five shops before Christmas.
The owner of the Range, which also bought Wilko’s website after its collapse, will launch the first two Wilko shops in Plymouth and Exeter.
Its boss said that “it’s clear that there’s a huge love for Wilko”.

CDS Superstores, which owns The Range, said former Wilko staff would be given priority in the recruitment process for the new shops.
When CDS bought the brand, it planned to stock some Wilko products in its existing stores, but it was not expected to open new shops under the Wilko name.
Its chief executive Alex Simpkin said: “The public reaction to the loss of Wilko stores was undeniable.
“That’s why we’ve taken the decision to reintroduce Wilko back to many of the High Streets and communities that it used to so proudly serve.”
While these High Street locations are convenient for shoppers without cars, since the pandemic there’s been a shift to bigger retail parks and out-of-town options with more space.
